It's almost impossible, isn't it, to get a Greens question without a suggestion that, somehow, government policy is changed because of political donations. You may think that, but that is not how we operate. As I said to past senator Milne, when she and I were contesting over the carbon price: 'It is possible that we may just not agree with your position.'

But, in relation to this, the advice I have is that the minister has sought agreement that there would be mandatory packaging design standards and targets, including for recycled content; that we would double the recycling capacity in Australia; that we would reform the regulation of packaging by 2025; that, at her instigation with the states, the ministerial advisory group would be formed; and that the minister has announced the regulation of recycling solar panels.
