I hear that plastic bags are soon to be banned? How will that affect you? I’ve already thought about rubbish bags and bin liners and I don’t know what the alternative will be yet. If they replace plastic rubber bags with those thick paper ones what is to stop people hiding a plastic bag inside of it? How will it be policed? Will the border customs staff be seizing imported plastic bags at the border?

    We’ve had plastic supermarket bags phased out for quite some time now. As far as I can tell, the only plastic bags being phased out on 1 July are plastic produce bags at supermarkets.

    Personally we have some little reusable bags that live in the car, just in case. But I prefer the big heavy duty canvas-like bags so you can carry all the groceries inside at once, so long as you can carry 30KG.
