This disclosure contains advocacy correspondence from environmental organisations (Australian Conservation Foundation and allies) to Prime Minister Albanese dated 12 December 2024, expressing disappointment at the failure to negotiate passage of Nature Positive Bills during parliamentary sitting weeks. The letter references the government's two-year-old Nature Positive Plan and the Samuel Review, urging reform of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) through establishment of a national EPA and national environmental standards framework. The organisations attribute Australia's worsening extinction crisis to deforestation, ocean industrialisation, invasive species, and climate change-driven disasters, and argue that business interests—except renewables sector—are blocking reforms. They request the government proceed with amended Bills when Parliament resumes in February. The document is advocacy material rather than departmental analysis, scientific advice, or regulatory decision documentation, containing no quantified environmental data or specific project assessments.
