Is Australia losing the race to ban plastics?

Covid 19 has made avoiding plastics a lot harder; cafes stopped taking keep cups, there was an increase in food and grocery deliveries - all wrapped in plastic and use of disposal PPE gear spiked … for obvious reasons.  

 

On today’s Briefing - are we losing the fight on plastics? We’re joined by Kate Noble,  World Wildlife Fund Australia’s No Plastics in Nature Policy Manager to discuss if we’re doing enough in the fight to reduce plastics and their impact on the environment.

 

In the last few years each state and territory has progressed at a different pace.... bringing in bans on items like straws and plastic cutlery.   Are we doing enough?
