Ask the PM to improve our environment laws – not gut them

Send a quick email to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, calling on him to protect our environment laws – not gut them.

Right now, we have serious concerns the Albanese government is about to rush through changes to Australia’s environment laws that could gut important community rights to challenge destructive projects.

Tips for writing your email

• Personalise your message – we’ve done a quick draft to get you started, but increase your impact by sharing why you care.

• Keep it clear and to the point – a strong, respectful message is more likely to be taken seriously. 

• Ask the PM to take action – if you oppose these EPBC changes and want the government to focus on real reform that protects nature, say so.

What's the issue?

• The Albanese government appears to be rushing through changes to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act
• These changes could weaken important community rights to challenge government decisions on destructive projects.
• The Albanese government was elected with a promise to strengthen, not weaken, Australia’s environment laws.

What to ask

You could ask the Prime Minister to:

• Keep his government’s promise to strengthen, not weaken, Australia's environment laws
• Drop his plans for rushed changes that remove public rights to challenge harmful projects – and commit to consulting with the community and experts
• Protect public rights to participate in environmental decision-making 
• Stop giving special treatment to industries – environment laws must apply fairly.
