What is the bill's main idea?
Tasmanian Senator Nick McKim (Greens) explained that:
This bill, the Ending Native Forest Logging Bill 2023, seeks to put an end to the outdated practice of destroying biodiversity by the industrial logging of our native forests, which also, of course, contributes massively to the breakdown of the planet's climate that is happening as we speak here today. This bill seeks to put an end to the practice of logging public forests in Australia by repealing the Regional Forest Agreements Act 2002, closing a massive loophole in our environment laws.
No rebellion
Note that West Australian Senator Fatima Payman (Independent) is currently showing as a rebel voter but this is inaccurate as Senator Payman is no longer a member of the Labor Party.
