The Australian Government has recently announced they will be reforming their current environmental protection laws and regulations. An independent review into Australia's environmental laws concluded they needed a fundamental overhaul to reflect current concerns. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says the original environmental protection laws were written 25 years ago, and experts have been trying to get updates sent into Government for years prior. The Australian Government will also set up a federal Environmental Protection Agency to help save the endangered Australian habitats, including the threatened Great Barrier Reef.
