The Australian government takes the problem of plastic waste and its impacts on the environment very seriously and works with other governments to address ocean pollution. Most recently the government has worked with the states and territories to voluntarily phase out the use of microbeads in cosmetic and personal care products, with 94 per cent of these products now microbead free.
Question agreed to.
