"Free single-use plastic bags will be banned in South Australia at the end of the year. Premier Mike Rann and Environment Minister Gail Gago made the announcement on Clean Up Australia Day that legislation is now being drafted to introduce to State Parliament next month. “South Australia is leading the push for a national ban to rid our State of this environmental scourge,” Mr Rann said. We started the anti-plastic bag fight and we’re pushing ahead regardless of whether a nationally consistent approach is agreed to in the meantime."
