Please stop cutting into our earth and removing whatever you like - destroying our home is not in our best interest. Please focus efforts into reusing and recycling the minerals we already have in operation as humans - to take it all is not sustainable.
STOP STOP STOP the assault on our environment! Stop stealing my daughter's future! This government has been the worst for environmental crimes I've ever seen, and it's happening just when we urgently need to be cutting emissions in order to ameliorate the worst effects of the climate crisis.

The proposed amendments are entirely vague and without substance, effectively they would give the Minister carte blanche to do as he sees fit. Not appropriate whatsoever. There needs to be tighter governance on these proposed changes and how they are implemented.
