Last week, incoming Chair of the Environment Institute Advisory Board, Prof. Possingham was featured on back to back ABC radio programs.

Prof. Possingham spoke with Ian Dunt about the political landscape with Dr. Peter Burnett, to consider what is at stake when Australia’s key piece of environmental legislation is reviewed.

Then both guests spoke again with Philip Adams about Australia’s key national environmental law, the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, currently undergoing a once-in-a-decade independent review.

They discuss the right way forward.
