I know, I saw that. Absolute nob-head. (pardon the french)

Father is trying to turn it around blaming the victim and those whom keep the world a safe place.

I was trying to think of a place for him and his sons....................couldn't think of any on this planet.

Maybe they could be test astronauts to mars.

Dad's got past form, I'd say, judging from the things he said.

I am with the assistant commissioner, Bob Hill, who wants to know why the 2 sons were not arrested immediately after being kicked off the train.

Unfortunately, I think I can guess why. Because being drunk, threatening passengers and destroying a bit of property is not thought serious enough these days to make a fuss about. Even if it went to court, we'd probably be told they were lovely boys, just drank a bit too much and acted out of character. Walk away out of court, free as birds.

Maybe courts need to take up just a fraction of the father's attitude. "We've got zero respect for you. Attack one of ours or any member of the public and god help you."

QLD banned single use plastic bags a year ago.

https://www.qld.gov.au/environment/pollution/management/waste/recovery/reduction/plastic-bags/about

The transition was easy (for me) and it is much better when doing the weekly shopping. It is neater and more convenient, while benefiting the environment and marine life.

Great to hear that Qld has already made this move as has SA, not sure re the other states ...... Cant say it would bother me either, we already take our own re usable bags or use the boxes provided.

When it came in NSW, there were so many people literally breaking down (or,rather having tantrums) over not getting 'their plastic bags'

It was in the news for at least 18 months prior, in the press, posters up in stores and yet the amount of people I personally heard screaming "they did'nt know" "nobody said" etc etc

One person in my local Woolies literally pushed their shopping trolley into the end of the checkout area, pointed at the sales person and screamed as loud as they could (not that I'll use caps) you took away my plastic bags !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and threw themselves on the floor

Of course there was the 'poor dear,must be not quite right' (no idea if there were or not) but given I saw a couple of dozen different people having similar dummy spits

Must be me that is 'odd' I have been using cloth bags or one kind or another since 1995

We do the bulk of grocery shopping at Aldi, so not being given plastic bags is nothing to new to us ..... We also shop in The Mount so are used to not being given a plastic bag with any purchase. Cant say I have ever felt the need to have a meltdown over it

I once heard someone say they wouldnt shop at Aldi, cause you had to pay for the trolley ...... Didnt like to ask them if they understood that they would get their $1 back when they returned it to the trolley bay

Are plastic bags banned everywhere in NSW or only the supermarkets?

while i personally dont think the bag ban has done anything about reducing plastic waste, i find the reusable bags ok.

when i'm out and about i still see plenty of rubbish plastic blowing around the country side, getting stuck in fences.

mostly from house building sites where tradies just throw it on the ground and the next gust of wind takes it away.

even if they plonk it in the skips it still gets blown out and off into the enviroment.

its often plastic bags insulation comes in, big pink plastic bags
