A rolling report-card on the Baillieu Government’s environmental performance
The Victorian Government is responsible for ensuring a healthy environment for all Victorians to enjoy. The decisions they make today will be the legacy our children have to live with into the future.
So we think they’re caretaker numero uno when it comes to safeguarding our environment.
After all, the Victorian Government makes decisions on whether to invest in clean energy or a new coal plant. Whether to dig a new landfill or build a recycling facility. Whether to build a road or a railway line. They make the regulations that can either water our precious rivers or bleed them dry. And they hold the power to unlock new green jobs or maintain our reliance on ancient and dying technologies.
We’re sure you’ll agree that the Victorian Government is pretty damn important to safeguarding our environment.
The Baillieu Government was elected at the most critical time in history for our environment. There has never been a more important time for strong environmental leadership from our elected officials. And that’s exactly what we’re asking them to do!
For 40 years Environment Victoria has held state governments, of all political stripes, to account for their environmental decisions. We hope that by doing this and providing ideas for a clean, sustainable Victoria, we will encourage the government to take action for, not against our environment.
So how is the Baillieu Government going so far? Every step they take… we’ll be watching them
