Senator Larissa Waters calls out the Labor government on their treatment of the Great Barrier Reef
Greens moved an Urgency Motion in the Senate – 15 May 2025
A marine heatwave that triggered mass coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef has devastated significant World Heritage habitat and wildlife, impacted communities and the economy, and should be treated like
other extreme weather events and declared a national emergency under the National Emergency Declaration Act 2020 and Labor should stop opening coal and gas mines, which will make the climate crisis worse.
