It'll need a revolutionary eco-socialist government. No-one else would bother.
From oyster reefs to bandicoot grasslands, many Australian ecosystems no longer exist. Restoring nature is a good goal – but we cannot return to the past.

Imagine rich cats making the rules & hoarding snacks.
It’s not just one bad decision — the whole system gets tilted to favour corporate power over people & the planet.
🙅♀️Not illegal, but deeply unfair.
