What if the most impactful way to boost long-term productivity was nature?

For too long Australia it’s been in crisis, we look at labour,interest rates, business efficiency – recently AI, all while exploiting loopholes and complacency with our broken environmental laws.

In our first episode for 2026, Greenfluence partnered with Leon Wiesner from EnviroEducate to discuss the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation (EPBC) Act – Australia’s biggest environmental and nature law reform in decades.

This legislation goes a long way in addressing land clearingexemptions, the renewable energy roll-out, approval of fossil fuel projects, governance mechanisms between the state and federal powers and the Matters of NationalEnvironmental Significance standard.

These robust laws reduce adverse environmental impacts while increasing the speed of the renewable transition, improving private-public funding mechanisms, creating market opportunities (biodiversity markets) and creatingsignificant employment opportunities.

An important episode to record and dig into a huge policyreform.

Hope you enjoy it.
