'ISIS brides' and broken environment laws

Oct 11, 2025 •

Labor is trying to land one of its toughest reforms – an overhaul of Australia’s environmental laws.

Environment Minister Murray Watt says he wants to speed up housing and energy project developments, make it clear where construction can and can’t go ahead, and create a federal environment watchdog.

After a failed deal with the Greens in the last parliament, Labor is now dealing with the Coalition.

So what will that mean for the environment?

Today, contributing editor at The New Daily, Amy Remeikis – on Labor’s wheeling and dealing – and the Coalition’s continued identity crisis.
