Greens Agree to Support Environment Bill After Long Negotiation About Forests and Feelings
KEY POINTS
- â˘On November 27, 2025, Anthony Albanese declared Greens' support for Labor's rewrite of the EPBC Act.
- â˘Greens senator Larissa Hanson-Young stated she feels more positive about the bill than earlier in the week.
- â˘Hanson-Young wants increased protections for forests and climate, though the bill still lacks safeguards against harmful internet content.
- â˘Concerns were raised about children migrating from Instagram and Snapchat to less regulated parts of the internet.
On November 27, 2025, Anthony Albanese proudly announced the Greens have agreed to back Labor's rewrite of the EPBC Act, because nothing says progress like waiting until years into the 2020s to maybe protect forests and climate. Greens senator Larissa Hanson-Young confessed sheâs feeling 'more positive' about the environment bill than at the week's shaky start, though admitting 'we're not there yet'âclassic politics optimism, just slower. Her wishlist includes 'more protections for forests' and worrying about kids fleeing Instagram and Snapchat to 'darker corners' of the internet, presumably because teenagers apparently never hang out in daylight. Meanwhile, the bill offers no guarantees against harmful content or ad targeting, because regulating the internet is easier said than done. Truly, a saga of compromise held together with eco-friendly duct tape.

Nothing says salvation like a last-minute forest protection deal while winking at the internet's darkest corners. Kids, donât go chasing shadowsâapparently thatâs more hazardous than carbon emissions.
If legislative optimism was a forest, we'd still be chopping down trees while promising to plant saplings next Tuesday.
Keeping kids away from Instagram but sending them down internet rabbit holes? Brilliant plan if we enjoy chaos and digital skullduggery.
