“Only time will tell when, if and for whom the Albanese Government proposes to use these new powers to effectively exempt offshore gas regulation from our federal nature laws,” writes Kirsty Howey, Executive Director of the Environment Centre NT. Read more on The Point: theaus.in/4kxfoSt

ICYMI, cos the Albanese govt sure would like you to have missed the special carve out for the fossil fuel industry buried in Australia's new EPBC laws that @kirstyhowey.bsky.social exposes here
Excerpt from Dr Kirsty Howey's article on the special fossil fuel industry carve out hidden in Australia's new nature laws

"Changes to the EPBC Act last year give Minister Murray Watt the power to declare that a wide range of offshore gas activities regulated by the offshore energy regulator, NOPSEMA, do not require approval under the EPBC Act if they are given an approval by NOPSEMA. There are some constraints on this power, but they are discretionary, subject to Ministerial satisfaction (ie a subjective test), and these bare protections are already looking alarmingly weak.

Using this power would transfer significant and quite wide-ranging powers to Resources Minister Madeleine King to change the rules for regulation of the offshore gas industry, as long as there is such a declaration in place by the Environment Minister."
