Green groups have attacked the planned mass rollout of “biodiversity-destroying” wind turbines across regional Australia.
Veteran conservationist and former federal Greens leader Christine Milne told The Australian that peak environmental non-government organisations were too “frightened” to oppose renewables projects:
“I find it incomprehensible that you get this line back (from NGOs) that you can’t oppose renewable energy, when of course you can oppose renewable energy if it is destroying biodiversity,” Ms Milne said.
