| The Canberra Liberals will overturn the territory’s ban on free plastic bags if they win October’s ACT election.
‘‘If businesses have adapted to the ban and would like to continue charging for bags, they are welcome to do so. But if they don’t, they won’t be lumped with a $27,500 penalty,’’ ACT Opposition Leader Zed Seselja said in a statement today.
‘‘This is about bringing sense and evidence back to government decision making.’’
The policy announcement is in contrast to the 2004 election campaign, when the Liberals promised to ban free plastic bags in the ACT.
