The Greens want a 15% reduction in spending on consultants every year over 5 years. We’ve been calling for this since the 2023 PwC scandal. The Government still refuses to listen. Labor must break up & regulate the Big 4 & increase penalties for bad behaviour & ethical failures.

High court finding in favour of Hunter Valley community group sets precedent other environmentalists should follow, advocate says A landmark decision in Australia’s first climate change high court case has been described as a clear message to governments and fossil fuel companies that exported greenhouse gas emissions “cannot simply be ignored”.
