Senate must stop Abbott from putting mining companies above the law
The Australian Greens are urging the Senate to block the Abbott Government's bill to gut public enforcement of environment law now being debated in the Lower House.
Senator Larissa Waters, Australian Greens Deputy Leader and environment and climate change spokesperson, said:
"Tony Abbott and George Brandis want to put big mining companies above the law and stop Australians who care about the environment and climate from upholding the law.
