"A $128 million package to cut red and green tape and streamline approvals under environmental law has been unveiled ahead of the federal budget.More than $60 million will go towards up to 10 regional plans in priority development regions to protect areas of environmental significance.A single touch approval process - where the Commonwealth would enter into agreements with state governments to assess the environmental impacts of major projects - will be funded to the tune of $10 million.But the Australian Conservation Foundation has slammed the reforms, saying the changes to Australia's environment laws are about making it easier for the resource sector as opposed to protecting nature."While regional planning has merits, we are concerned the government's approach appears to focus on making things easier for resource extraction industries, rather than protecting nature," ACF's national biodiversity policy adviser Sophie Power said."To tackle Australia's extinction crisis we need strong national environment protection laws. Without robust standards to protect nature, fast tracked approvals will fast track extinction."But Environment Minister Sussan Ley says the reforms will strengthen environmental safeguards and enhance compliance."This is a package that will improve the quality and reliability of data used in assessments and decision making, ensure greater transparency and flexibility around environmental offsets and reduce duplication and delay in the assessment and approval process," Ms Ley said.Almost $40 million will go towards streamlining the assessment process, while $28 million will support "informed decision making".

This can only be good for us, right?
