Shauna’s Double Standards Exposed: Public Consultation Only When Convenient

Shauna’s Double Standards Exposed: Public Consultation Only When Convenient

Former Environment Minister Shauna Aminath criticized the government's restructuring of the EPA into the Environmental Regulatory Authority on social media. The article accuses Shauna of hypocrisy, noting that during her tenure in the MDP government, she oversaw the Waste Management Act and Single-Use Plastics list without public consultation. The act banned items like small plastic bottles, styrofoam containers, and introduced an unpopular MVR 2 bag fee. Shauna now champions transparency while having previously imposed top-down decisions. The article quotes a tweet from Shauna challenging the current government's consistency.
