Election 2010 "Australian
Biodiversity Policies - Commitments for the next term
of government"
"The Boobook Declaration,
having been signed by over 70 environmental organisations
to date, represents over 200,000 voters in Australia.
Many of these people had questions about the major party's
biodiversity policy commitments for the next term of
Government.
In the lead up to the 2010 Federal
Election the major political parties were asked to respond
to a list of policy questions put by the signatories
to this declaration. Below are the questions posed and
major political party responses"
On the 19th
of April representatives from groups supporting the Declaration
participated in the Boobook Planning Day.
The objective of the day was to prepare
a plan for getting biodiversity back on to the national
agenda and begin development of a strategy for implementing
the Declaration.
A number of speakers set the scene. To
