Carrying the bag – The Government is investigating plans to sting shoppers with a 5-cent charge for every plastic supermarket bag. [Stuff Politics]
This nanny-state crap needs to be shoved up the proverbial. “Polluter pays” my arse. What the hell are landfills for if not to fill up.
There are plenty of holes in the ground anyway, it isn’t like they are in short supply. The logic of this farce astounds me….next thing there will be a 5c charge on everything on the basis that polluter pays.
Since when has dumping something in a landfill been pollution anyway.
John Key needs to tell Nick Smith to pull his fricken head in.
