Greens Split Over Forest Carbon Deal | Perth News
Description
The Greens are deeply divided over Labor’s new carbon credit scheme that pays states to protect native forests — sparking a party-wide crossroads. Three senators, Nick McKim, Vanessa Bleyer, and Jordon Steele-John, will vote against it, calling it a “shakedown” that commodifies nature and exploits the Great Koala National Park. But leader Larissa Waters and most Greens support the bill, arguing they secured stronger forest protections and blocked big polluters from using offsets to dodge emissions. It’s a defining moment for the party, revealing sharp ideological splits on how best to save the environment — while critics from within and outside the Greens warn this deal risks turning conservation into a cash grab.
