Our government is showing clear leadership in this regard. Prime Minister Morrison demonstrates clear passion to reform Australia's recycling industry to deal with the issue of waste that is being exported, making sure that we create better scientific and economic plans not just in Australia but across our region. This will Australia's recycling capability and ensure we have cleaner beaches and oceans.

In terms of other plans, we hear silence when it comes to these types of practical environmental initiatives. Those opposite often have lofty rhetoric when it comes to the environment but never deliver when it comes to practical policies or practical on-the-ground measures that can help households and businesses or, most importantly, set up economically viable, ongoing, resilient commercial industries to drive waste management and make sure we have greater recycling well into the future.
