Show Notes
Queenslands Liberal National Party government has introduced a new bill to address issues with the states ten-cent container refund scheme, following a critical inquiry report. The bill includes exemptions for small drink makers, tighter rules on board appointments, and a plan to handle the schemes surplus. The government opposes raising the refund, citing potential price increases for consumers. Opposition members criticize the inquiry as political and demand the release of an independent review. Recycling rates have significantly improved since the schemes implementation.
