“A reservation scheme that becomes a fig leaf for the drilling and fracking of major new gas basins like Bedaloo or Narrabri would be a terrible, terrible outcome,” ACF’s National Climate Policy Adviser Annika Reynolds tells the Senate inquiry into the Domestic Gas Reservation Bill. #auspol

Replying to @ausconservation.bsky.social

To provide an 'out' clause for investment in speculative new gas basins or pre-fig gas projects risks frustrating the purpose of the reservation scheme and pushing us towards climate bombs like Beetaloo and Narrabri that Australians cannot afford and do not want. #auspol

Wildlife populations are already being hit hard by land clearing, climate change, feral animals etc. Now add #H5N1 bird flu to the list. The best way to help wildlife withstand these threats is to stop knocking down their homes. Weak standards are a licence to continue habitat destruction.
