One of the best ways to create meaningful, well-paid jobs quickly is by investing in nature. From today, our Government will invest $1.1 billion in green jobs, restoring our natural landscapes, our native bush, our wetlands, our coastlines, and our waterways. That's about 11,000 jobs over the next four years of meaningful, well-paid work for people to access so that they can continue to provide for their families whilst we weather the economic storm of the pandemic crisis. This $1.1 billion investment will not only create jobs in our hardest hit regions, it will help to ensure that future generations now and in the future have healthier forests, rivers, and harbours. And it will help to soak up a fair amount of carbon dioxide too.
