KEY POINTS
- •Top End residents stay sheltered during cyclone threats while nature law talks heat up.
- •Greens' Sarah Hanson-Young urgently calls to protect native forests amid rising species endangerment.
- •The government tries concessions to sway Greens to support nature laws, with talks involving Mark Speakman.
- •Sarah decided to commit after intense chats, criticizing billions spent on subsidizing forest destruction.
In a thriller that screams 2025 but feels like the sequel to 'The Great Forest Debate: Sue for Our Lives,' Sarah Hanson-Young of the Greens just dropped climate truth bombs on ABC. She wants to end 3 more years of native forest destruction, despite billions in taxpayer handouts helping make Aussie trees toast. With over 2,000 endangered species apparently RSVP’d to extinction, Sarah had a heart-to-heart with friend-foe Mark Speakman—yes, that Mark—who apparently softened her like a defrosting eucalyptus leaf just days before negotiations. Stay tuned for more drama as Darwin braces in cyclone mode, but Sarah's locked in like a tree's roots—maybe.
