On Saturday 19 October, 20 organisations, including the Australia Institute, published an open letter calling on the Rockcliff Government to acknowledge the damning findings from Tasmania’s 2024 State of the Environment Report and commit to reversing the state’s environmental declines.
The Australia Institute led the push for the publication of the report in 2022.
It has been a month since the 2024 report was published and yet there has been no official response from Tasmania’s Government.

If Tasmania is to have a healthy environment, which is fundamental to the state’s economy and Tasmanian way of life, government inaction is not an option.
