Submit to two really important reviews …

These are two really important reviews which need comment …

The first is a Bill which would make it illegal for coal and gas companies to gain access to land when the owner has refused entry. The second is a plan by the Federal Government to withdraw tax-deductible facilities for environmental groups.

For information on how to make a submission, go to our Making a submission to a Committee Inquiry page. Additional useful information can be found on the Notes to help those intending to make a submission to a parliamentary committee inquiry page.

• On 5 March 2015 the Senate referred the Landholders’ Rights to Refuse (Gas and Coal) Bill 2015 for inquiry and report.

The closing date for submissions is 29 May 2015. The reporting date is 7 August 2015.
