Supported the deemed condition and clarified compensation but said they do not replace the RIDA, condemning the broken election promise, the exclusion of stakeholders from consultation and the ramming through of late amendments.

Labor supports the addition of a deemed condition to the Environmental Protection Act and a clarified avenue for compensation for landholders affected by subsidence, but these do not replace the protection the RIDA offers.2026-06-24View Hansard

Criticised the bill for a lack of detail and for reducing assessment of environmental impacts and community input, arguing self-assessment often means no assessment, while noting Labor supports ecotourism and acknowledging concerns raised by both AgForce and the EDO.

Overall, this bill reduces the assessment of environmental impacts and reduces opportunities for community input. This is very concerning to the Labor members of this chamber.2026-05-14View Hansard
