My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Water, Senator McAllister. Today the Minister for the Environment and Water is hosting her Global Nature Positive Summit in Sydney. Yet in the last month alone the minister has approved three coalmines, has green-lit the destruction of precious bushland in Manyana in New South Wales and has not addressed the illegal destruction of koala habitat by a coalmining company in Queensland. In the parliament the Prime Minister is refusing to negotiate with the Greens for environment laws that actually work. Shouldn't the summit be more accurately called 'the nature negative summit'?
