NSW is set to unveil ambitious plans to drastically cut the amount of plastic and food scraps that end up in landfill by 2025.
Changes would be rolled out from next year
Plastics such as single-use lightweight bags, cotton buds, straws and stirrers will be phased out, and households will have to separate their food and organic waste into green bins.
Brilliant
So, more tokenistic virtue-signalling, instead of doing something that could actually benefit the oceans: Matt_KeanMP Dom_Perrottet GladysB
CO2 is NOT the pollution we need to worry about Plastics in our oceans, 10 million+ tonnes of plastic goes into our oceans annually A lot of that from our northern neighbours & Others China PS: The Amazon River The Amazon Riverwatch?v= wVnMBGXVVUI
The Government needs to take a leaf out of Singapore's book. Develop large scale incinerators to burn off solid household waste which is filtered while utilizing the power to generate energy turbines. Efficient waste disposal and cleaner energy!
Does that include all the shrink-wrap plastic with which Coles & Woolworths smother their meat and vegetables?
Great.

Another ‘classic example’ of cancel culture hits NSW schools | Sky News AustraliaAnother “classic example” of cancel culture’s drive to remove tradition has seen teachers at NSW schools told to avoid the words ‘husband’ and ‘wife’ under a new language guide, according to Sky News host Chris Smith.\n\n“So the two to three per cent of parents who aren’t husbands and wives get to control the language,” Mr Smith said.\n\n“Thank goodness One Nation MP Mark Latham was sent a copy because he exposed this.”\n\nMr Smith noted “thankfully” the education minister in New South Wales has “thrown the guide where it belongs – on the Queen’s Birthday bonfire”.\n\n“The principal of the two schools didn’t even know about the document… that shows you how devious these cancel culture architects are,” he said.\n\n“They might be making headway, but not this time.”\n\n Chris Smith has been TWICE married. He has a lot invested in the terms. This is a sick joke, the teachers just like doctors and nurses need to start pushing back or this will continue to get worse. Why is it so hard to teach reading, writing and arithmetic🤦♂️
