Retailers face hefty fines as single-use plastic bag ban begins

From Morning Report, 7:40 am on 28 June 2019

Single use plastic bags didn't have much of a life-span to begin with, but from Monday they won't have one at all.

From July 1, it will become illegal for retailers to hand out light-weight plastic carry bags to their customers - but it will be up to customers to police the ban.
