GREENS MLC Colleen Hartland says she will continue to pursue a 10- cent refund system for drink bottles, cans and cartons in Victoria following a Victorian Parliament Inquiry into her private member’s bill.
The report prefers a national scheme and is neutral on whether her private member’s bill should be passed.
“I put the Baillieu Government on notice. If there is no progress on a national 10 cent refund scheme this year, you will have to deal with a Greens Bill for a Victorian scheme,” Ms Hartland said.
“I am encouraged by the inquiry report.
“All the niggling problems it identifies with the Greens Bill can be overcome by amendments or redrafting.”
