昆士兰的环境部长承认为牧场清理土地会引发珊瑚礁污染, Queensland’s environment minister admits land clearing for pasture drives reef pollution, but says new laws won’t address it directly.

环境部长默里·瓦特(Murray Watt)承认对昆士兰大堡礁集水区大量土地清理表示关切,86%的植被损失用于牧场,但指出《EPBC法》改革的重点是实施2020年审查的建议,其中排除了土地清理。 Environment Minister Murray Watt acknowledged concerns over extensive land clearing in Queensland’s Great Barrier Reef catchment, where 86% of vegetation loss was for pasture, but stated the EPBC Act reforms focus on implementing a 2020 review’s recommendations that excluded land clearing. Watt强调该立法旨在改善环境保护和精简程序,指出并非所有问题都可以在一项法律中得到解决。 Watt emphasized the legislation aims to improve environmental protection and streamline processes, noting not all issues can be resolved in one law. 他承认Ken Henry等人物呼吁采取更强有力的行动, 但表示政府会支持最可行的两党提案通过改革, While recognizing calls for stronger action from figures like Ken Henry, he said the government will support the most viable bipartisan proposal to pass the reforms, with no commitment to additional measures beyond the current package.
