How are you coping with this heatwave? It’s 8:25 AM here in NSW, and already it feels like a scorcher! I woke up with my husband at 5 AM, and

It seems that Labor is reigniting its commitment to establishing a federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) after previously sidelining this promise during the 2022 election. This renewed focus reflects a growing emphasis on environmental issues and the need for stronger regulatory frameworks to address climate change and protect natural resources.
Establishing a federal EPA could help streamline environmental protection efforts across the country and ensure consistent enforcement of regulations, which is crucial in the face of increasing environmental challenges. It will be interesting to see how Labor plans to implement this initiative and what specific measures they will prioritize to address environmental concerns effectively.
Public support for environmental policies has steadily increased, and this move could resonate with voters who are prioritizing climate action and sustainability. It will be important for Labor to communicate their vision clearly and demonstrate how a federal EPA would make a tangible difference.
