## Resource

New South Wales has dropped a divisive bill that would’ve gutted local council power and extended logging permits for decades, sparking backlash ahead of March’s election. The move, tied to koala habitat protection, faced internal party dissent and public outcry, prompting the government to pause and seek consensus with communities instead. While this specific legislation is shelved, the state’s $200 million koala strategy remains intact, signaling a shift toward collaboration over confrontation in conservation efforts.
