The NSW Liberals have been accused of caving into their Nationals coalition partners with their plans to scrap acts protecting native vegetation and threatened species if re-elected at this weekend's poll.
The Baird government announced on Thursday that the Liberal-Nationals coalition would adopt all 43 recommendations of a panel that reviewed biodiversity legislation in NSW.
"Our reforms will implement all of the panel's recommendations and deliver an enhanced overall environmental outcome," Troy Grant, deputy premier and Nationals leader, said in a statement.
