Environmentalists and communities, citing examples like Lane Cove’s industrial land grab, are calling for a pause on new projects until rules are finalized — echoing New York’s recent one-year halt. With Queensland historically resistant and the Climate Council warning of higher prices and pollution, the push for national consensus is heating up — and the Greens are demanding Australia follow suit with a moratorium.
