My question is for the Minister for the Environment and Water. Australia's largest plastic-bag recycling program has collapsed, and this comes after a series of failures in the industry including stockpiling, dumping, toxic fires, poor regulation, high costs and the closure of international markets. Households are doing the responsible thing, recycling the plastics, but industry and the government are letting them down. Can the minister please outline the specific steps she will take to ensure the recycling industry delivers for Australians and our environment?
