My question is for the Minister for the Environment and Water. A recent review found that major supermarkets are in some cases charging more for unpackaged fruit and vegetables than they are for plastic wrapped produce. One example was loose potatoes which cost 53 per cent more than bagged ones. With Australians already struggling with the cost-of-living crisis and some really trying to do the right thing by reducing their plastic waste, how is the government going to hold supermarket chains accountable for fuelling Australia's plastic pollution?
