The Morrison government will provide $50 million to support ecosystems and threatened species harmed by the country's largest ever bushfires.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg and Environment Minister Sussan Ley will on Monday detail what the government is describing as a "downpayment" to aid wildlife across states and territories.Credit:“This initial investment of $50 million into the protection and restoration of our wildlife and habitat is a critical step in creating a viable future for animals that have survived," Mr Frydenberg said in a statement, ahead of a media event planned for the NSW city of Port Macquarie.
With huge fires still active in several states - particularly in NSW, Victoria and South Australia - the full toll on ecosystems is still unknown.The Morrison government is likely to make more funds available for the environment once the full extent of the damage is revealed. “Fires are burning and we still don’t know with accuracy the final impacts – other than that we know it is an ecological tragedy," Ms Ley said.
Too little, tooo late....
