Hi dave R
I agree that we should work hard to fix Australia's pollution without worrying about what other people do
BUT
Australia is prone to do these off the cuff responses to problems without any thought as to the final effect
Nothing happens in a vacuum
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
When this ban was brought in there was no preparation done
The alternate bags to be sold will cause more pollution that they ones banned
The Supermarkets did not prepare for the change, the check out staff had no facility to accommodate the different bags they were selling or had to fill
The infection angle was not discussed
So why did it happen --- why were they banned ?
The only conclusion I can come up with is that it was a coordinated campaign by the supermarkets to appeal to the "loony left greenies" to get them riled up with false stories about the dangers to whales from our disposable bags and then let the media run with the story while the SMs collected the dosh
Just my opinion but please DYOR
