  Housing minister Matthew Pennycook said the Chancellor was right to prioritise growth amid speculation about the future of Heathrow airport.

The article from MSN discusses statements made by Australian Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek, who has reassured the public that the government is not dismantling environmental protections despite approving several major projects. Plibersek emphasized that the government is committed to balancing economic development with environmental conservation. She highlighted that while projects like the Isaac River coal mine and the Middle Arm industrial precinct have been approved, these decisions are made with careful consideration of environmental impacts. The minister also mentioned ongoing efforts to reform national environmental laws to better protect nature, indicating a focus on sustainable development rather than a rollback of green protections. This comes amidst criticism from environmental groups who argue that the approval of such projects contradicts the government's environmental commitments.
