EJA's 'Living Wonders' Legal Intervention

Tuesday, 26 July 2022 - 6:00pm

In this show we looked at the Living Wonders Legal Intervention. Community legal centre Environmental Justice Australia, on behalf of their client Environment Council of Central Queensland, has submitted 19 reconsideration requests to federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek, asking her to reconsider the first stage of the assessment of almost every pending coal and gas proposal and expansion across the country, currently on her desk. These reconsideration requests have been submitted under a rarely used provision of the Commonwealth legislation, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (under section 78A).

We were fortunate to be joined by one of the lawyers from Environmental Justice Australia, Brittni Dienhoff. Brittni specialises in climate projects and has worked closely on the Living Wonders legal intervention.
