Labor’s reputation as a lazy, directionless, policy-free, fence-sitting Opposition was on show again in an Estimates week fizzer where they failed to land a blow. Government Ministers detailed a strong budget delivering record infrastructure, health and education spending, with almost no serious scrutiny or questioning by an Opposition who hadn’t done their homework, don’t have an alternative budget and don’t seem to be across the issues or the budget itself. Labor Members repeatedly ran out of questions early in the day and started repeating questions or asking questions in the wrong output. I’m only new to Parliament but it seems to me a bad sign for an Opposition if you don’t have an alternative budget, can’t explain what your policies are, and can’t land a punch in budget estimates.

我省1集体2人获中国生态文明奖
5日,在浙江杭州举办的2019世界环境日全球主场活动上,第二届中国生态文明奖揭晓,共35个先进集体和54名先进个人获奖。我省武夷山市生态环境局和长汀县三洲镇戴坊村村民兰林金、福建师范大学教授刘剑秋获奖。
中国生态文明奖是2014年经党中央批准设立的生态文明建设领域唯一政府奖项,每3年评选表彰一次。
此次获奖的武夷山生态环境局始终坚持生态环境保护为先、保护为重,确保优良的生态环境不受破坏。2018年,武夷山市被生态环境部授予“国家生态文明建设示范市”称号。同时,在全国率先开展生态系统服务价值核算试点。
兰林金2002年因事故失去了双臂和一只左眼,从2010年开始,他承包了村里水土流失最严重的2270亩荒山,用惊人的毅力垦荒近千亩,种植850余亩油茶和100多亩的黄栀子等经济作物,不仅让自己一家摆脱了贫困,更让家乡的生态环境得到持续改善。
刘剑秋是福建师范大学生命科学学院教授。2001年寒假期间,他和同事们在对闽江河口湿地生物多样性调查过程中,发现湿地面积不断减少。为此他呼吁抢救性保护闽江河口段湿地资源,推动了闽江河口湿地国家级自然保护区的建立。(记者 潘园园)
