8:10 Jess Abrahams, Nature Campaigner for the Australian Conservation Foundation, discusses the State of the Environment Report, a comprehensive review of the state of Australia’s environment which the government is required to conduct and release every five years. Despite having the report since December 2021 the Morrison government is yet to release it, with many believing it's a blatant attempt to dodge more bad press ahead of the election.
