Greens environment spokesperson Sarah Hanson-Young responds to Anthony Albanese's "promise" of a new EPA:
"Labor's environment credibility is in tatters, with their policy now a total mess.
"Australia's environment laws are weaker now than at the last election. Labor cannot be trusted to deliver on the environment, they have failed over and over again. But the Greens will force them to act.
"The Greens are essential in the new parliament to clean up Labor's mess and hold them to account. We must ensure that our environment is protected from the destructive influence of corporate interests and that real action is taken to address the climate and extinction crises.
"Only with more Greens in parliament can we restore our ecosystems, safeguard our wildlife, and transition to a sustainable future.
"The Greens will fight for robust environmental laws and a climate policy that prioritises nature over profit."
