"On RN Breakfast
with Fran Kelly
As the Morrison Government rushes to amend national environmental protection laws, scientists warn a growing number of their colleagues are being silenced.
A study by the Ecological Society of Australia claims a third of ecologists and conservation scientists employed by government and industry had work "unduly modified" and almost half of those working for government were blocked from releasing their findings.
Their treatment has renewed calls for the creation of an independent environmental agency, something the Coalition has ruled out.
