The Albanese government has done a “good job” of restoring the health of the Great Barrier Reef but “it’s not enough”, says Australian Marine Conservation Society’s Lissa Schindler.

“They have taken positive steps … the ALP have strengthened their climate policy – it’s not enough,” Ms Schindler told Sky News Australia.

“They need to go higher, they need to really be aiming for emission reduction targets of 75 per cent by 2030, not 43 per cent. “We need to be limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees across the globe and Australia needs to do its fair share in doing this, especially as a developed nation.”

Albanese Government working to protect Great Barrier ReefEnvironment and Water Minister Tanya Plibersek says the Government has invested $1.2 billion of additional funding to protect the reef and is working closely with both UNESCO and the Queensland Government. “We’re acting on water quality, we’re acting on fisheries management, we’re working with traditional owners to deal with problems like crown-of-thorns starfish and marine plastics,” Ms Plibersek told Sky News Australia. “There’s now a government in Australia that is acting on climate change and that’s the biggest difference that UNESCO has identified – they’ve said that in the past that between the previous government and this government, it’s a bit like night and day.”
