In just one year Premier Baillieu has taken Victoria decades backwards on the environment.

* Cattle trampling our national parks
* New wind farms blocked
* Co2 emissions target ignored
* Endangered species habitat logged
* New coal-fired power station approved
* Green Wedges threatened
* Westernport destruction fast-tracked

Premier Baillieu said he would 'fix the problems, and build the future', but when it comes to our environment his government has created new problems and is threatening out future!

His government has no formal environment or climate change policy, and no clear vision for a more sustainable Victoria.

So after 12 disappointing months we're marching backwards to demonstrate the direction the Premier is taking us.
