Queensland Land Clearing Laws at Last
Clearing of native vegetation in Queensland has sky-rocketed over the last
few months in anticipation of land clearing restrictions. After more than a
year, the Labor state Government has finally pushed through legislation
that restricts land clearing.=20
Today on Earth Matters we hear from Imogen Zethoven of the Queensland
Conservation Council to get the details on the legislation and the problems
and shortfalls arising from it. We also hear about the range of reactions
that the regulations have been met with, and whether this means the end of
the increase in land clearing in the sunshine state.
IN: "Well there's some good parts =85"
OUT: "=85 even with this new legislation."
DUR: 10'25"
Marine National Park Proposal for Victoria
While the level of land conservation in Australia continues to be
scrutinised, one thing's for certain - environmental protection is much
greater on the land than in the sea. A lengthy Victorian process that seeks
to address this issue recently reached a key juncture, with the release of
the Environment Conservation Council's Marine National Parks proposal for
Victoria.
Today we hear from Sarojini Krishnapillai, Marine Campaigner with the
Victorian Natonal Parks Association, about the proposal and the community's
role in shaping the future of marine conservation.
IN: "Saro firstly =85"
OUT: "=85 acquaculture debate over Summer."
DUR: 9'00"
A look back at the World Trade Organisation Talks
Some weeks back we spoke to Anna Reynolds, National Liaison Officer with
the Australian Conservation Foundation, before she went to the World Trade
Organisation (WTO) talks in Seattle. Anna spoke about concerns surrounding
genetically modified foods and eco-labelling, and as she mentioned back
then, there was a chance that the talks would fail - and that's exactly
what happened.
IN: "Well the talks actually =85
OUT: "=85 inside and outside the meeting."
DUR: 4'05"
