Rushed minerals changes ‘bad lawmaking and they know it’

Tight deadlines and an onslaught of policy overhauls have put pressure on environmental NGOs, making for conditions some long-standing representatives say are the worst they’ve ever seen.
The four-day window for public submissions on the Crown Minerals Amendment Bill was so short that the Environmental Defence Society opted not to submit at all. They saw their resources as better spent preparing for future legislative challenges; not here, where “no-one will be listening.”
