Summary

Edit

The majority voted against a motion to agree with the main idea of the bill, known as giving the bill a second reading. This means that the bill was rejected and won't be considered any further.

What is the bill's main idea?

According to the bill homepage, the bill would:

  • establish the national Beverage Container Deposit and Recovery Scheme;
  • enforce and impose civil penalties on persons or body corporates for breaches of the scheme;
  • provide for an annual report on the operation of the proposed Act; and
  • contain a regulation making power.

See the explanatory memorandum for more on the proposed Beverage Container Deposit and Recovery Scheme.
