How do Queensland parties rate on protecting our precious Great Barrier Reef?
After suffering its worst summer on record, and fifth mass coral bleaching in eight years, our precious reef ecosystem is being battered by climate change.
AMCS wrote to the ALP, LNP, Greens and Katter parties to let them know what’s needed to protect our Great Barrier Reef in the next term of government. The Australian Labor Party, the Liberal National Party and the Greens responded to the substance of our letter and we have independently assessed their position and commitments based on their responses as well as published policies, statements, and election announcements.
We have rated each party on how well they have met the policy commitments required to protect the Great Barrier Reef.
