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

An opinion article accuses former Environment Minister Shauna Aminath of double standards, saying she now demands public consultation while in opposition although her own ministry imposed single-use plastic bans and a plastic bag fee without consultation. It also targets her social media criticism of the restructuring of the Environmental Protection Agency into the Environmental Regulatory Authority.
