I was indicating that the opposition had agreed to these policies, not the government. The opposition, when it was the government, presented these policies. This is the problem. We have an opposition with a very short memory of what it actually did in government. What I can tell the present opposition is that this government will not impose a Commonwealth levy on plastic bags, and actions on plastic bags should not be used as a government revenue raiser.
