I reorganised my life around the plastic bag issue within a minute. I should write a book about dealing with the bag ban and make some money.

Tony Abbott says he fears Australia is “sleepwalking toward its deindustrialisation” as he criticised the Prime Minister for sending mixed messages to business with company tax cuts and the push for a National Energy Guarantee.
Speaking with Alan Jones on 2GB radio, the former PM said business has been “gaming the system” of energy but he doesn’t blame them.
“If there are subsidies for renewable energy they will go and take them,” he said.
“The only guarantee as I read it (in the NEG design) is that emissions will come down. There are a few pages on prices and a few pages on boosting reliability and then we have page after impenetrable page of the most appalling prose you’ll ever read.
“Now I don’t mind reducing emissions but not if it jeopardises your economic future. I don’t thank our children will thank us if we damage their future in order to make the world a bit colder for them.”

I bet all these loving cry babies drive to the shops and can't wrap their head around simply putting a few canvas bags in their vehicle.

The type of people who cant handle the bag ban are not people who buy and read books.

When I was on the road a lot for work plastic bags were a god send when I couldn't find a toilet.

Bill Shorten has backed down

Since phasing out single-use plastic bags from our stores on 20th June, we’ve been listening to your comments and learned that remembering reusable bags every time you shop isn’t easy.

To give a little extra help during this change to a greener and more sustainable way of shopping, from now until 8th July we’ll offer complimentary reusable bags for your shopping.

We thank those who’ve made this change and come on the journey with us, and this short-term offer is available to help those who are caught short at the checkout in these early stages. This will also ensure you’ll have reusable bags on hand for your future shops with us.

Details:
- What: Complimentary reusable bags for your shopping
- Which: 15c reusable bags
- When: 29th June – 8th July
- Where: In all Woolworths stores and for Pick up orders
- States: NSW, WA, VIC, QLD
- Why certain states: Prior to June 20th, all other states and territories were already single-use plastic bag free and have become more familiar with this new and greener way of shopping.

On my quick visit to Woolies this morning I saw a number of customers grabbing bundles of bags from stands placed near the checkouts, there would have been about 10 in a bundle.

Staff were actually laughing while watching them.

There was no attempt to police how many or what style of bags were being taken as there were several different designs and colours available.

I expect to see them on sale on eBay soon
