In this episode we talk about why environment groups are warning that the federal Budget allocated too little money to nature protection. Also in this episode, we look at some of the exciting new clean energy projects that are being approved around Australia. And we talk about Opposition leader Angus Taylor's depressing, pro-coal speech that attacked net zero. Plus, we chat about a Queensland government move that allows fruit growers to continue shooting flying foxes, even though a ban was due to come into force on July 1. We also look at some clean energy legislation that's before the NSW parliament, and we chat about a new strategy that's designed to improve water quality in the Great Barrier Reef.
