'We should not still be at the stage where there is urgent action, this has been going on for long enough, that action should've been taken to prevent it,' Mr Hyams told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio.
'Our governments have to do something to stop this happening.'

Cook not concerned by Japan on-selling surplus Australian gas
WA Premier Roger Cook has shrugged off criticism of Japan's on-selling of surplus Australian gas to other Asian customers, saying it is just part of their business model. Cook has just returned from a mission to Japan where the country emphasised the need for a continued stable supply of Australian gas to stabilise its energy grid as it moved away from coal-fired power. Cook met with senior Japanese bureaucrats and politicians, including Vice-Minister for International Affairs Matsuo Takehiko to discuss energy security, resources and decarbonisation. In the face of criticism from environmental groups of Australia's fossil fuel industry, Cook has repeatedly pressed the point that Australia's LNG helps larger Asian economies reduce carbon pollution by moving out of coal. 'What [Japan has] said to us is that as part of that energy transition, they need our LNG to be able to assist them to pivot away from coal and towards renewables,' Cook said on his way home from Japan on Tuesday. One of the biggest criticisms of that argument is that Japan, which is a big investor in Australian LNG projects, has been on-selling LNG because of a surplus of the fuel. The latest estimate from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis found Japanese companies on-sold between 11.3 to 14.7 million tonnes of Australian LNG, which equates to about 1.2 to 1.6 times the annual gas consumption on the east coast energy grid. IEEFA suggests this gas is being on-sold to other Asian economies like Taiwan and South Korea.

ASX 200 sinks as US President Donald Trump vows 50 per cent tariffs on copper, 200 per cent levies on pharmaceuticals
The ASX 200 is down on Wednesday as Donald Trump revealed he is considering 50 per cent tariffs on copper and eyes 200 per cent tariffs on pharmaceuticals in about a year's time. The index is down about 0.3 per cent after the first hour of trading with gold and copper company Evolution Mining sinking 7.9 per cent, Genesis Mineral shedding 5.8 per cent and copper miner Sandfire Resources slumping 5.2 per cent. Retirement village company Lifestyle Communities is down about 29 per cent after a court ruling found its lucrative exit fees were invalid. Investors are also watching Rio Tinto (up 0.4 per cent) and BHP (flat) which will face a hit from a copper mine they jointly run in Chile. Trump told reporters he is considering a raft of tariffs as the deadline for his 'Liberation Day' tariffs suspension looms. 'I believe the tariff on copper, we're going to make it 50 per cent,' Trump told reporters. He also plans to hit pharmaceuticals which could threaten major Australian companies such as the ASX's third largest company CSL. Medicinal and pharmaceutical products continue to be Australia's third largest export to the US behind gold and meat. 'They're going to be tariffed at a very, very high rate, like 200 per cent,' Trump said. 'We'll give them a certain period of time to get their act together.' Wall Street sank again on Tuesday with the Dow Jones falling 0.4 per cent, the S&P 500 sliding 0.1 per cent and the Nasdaq finishing flat. London's FTSE 250 jumped 0.2 per cent, Germany's DAX added 0.6 per cent and the STOXX Europe 600 rose 0.4 per cent. New Zealand's NZX 50 Index has shed 0.8 per cent while Japan's Nikkei 225 is flat.
