Why Albanese killed a key environment bill

  • Summary

  • Anthony Albanese was triumphant on Friday, as he talked up the government’s passing of dozens of bills through the parliament. But there was one key piece of environmental legislation that didn’t make it. Albanese personally stopped the bill, right at the last moment and without warning Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek. The decision by the prime minister puts mining interests – and the hope of votes in Western Australia – ahead of a deal that sources say he’d already approved. Today, national correspondent for The Saturday Paper Mike Seccombe on why Albanese stopped the legislation, and whether it’s the Greens who’ll end up winning.
