Dear Mr Pacey
Thank you for your email of 8 September 2011 supporting a refund scheme for bottles in
Queensland. I have been requested to reply to you on the Premier's behalf.
The contents of your message have been noted.
This matter has been referred to the Honourable Vicky Darling MP, Minister for
Environment for her consideration and reply direct to you.
Again, thank you for taking the time to contact the Premier.

Yours sincerely
M Weaver

Got another one from my local member as well today. If they think that is the end of it they do not know me well enough.

Go get 'em Bob!

We have a sh...fight going on here at the moment about container legislation, the council wants it in but the suppliers are mounting a legal challenege, given that it is already in SA and everyone will be treated equally, I can't see what the fuss is about! Just to add a bit more confusion the government is blaming the opposition...(I'm not too sure how that works.) The government doesn't want to buy into it because they are like the federal gov., a hung parliment so they are frightened to upset anyone! It is amazing that a couple of the Aboriginal organisations have been the ones opposing the legislation in the past because they believe it would create too much hardship for the people on the low incomes!...can you believe that? I suppose an extra $3.00 a carton of VB would take a bit of absorbing into the weekly budget...

Should we address the letter like so???

Vicky Darling - I earnestly beseech you to refund monies on used bottles to help our country avoid the perils of broken glass upon our highways and byways. In the interest of the countries economy I am sure that all Australians will do their best to increase their consumption of bottled liquids to ensure a never ending supply of empty bottles to be recycled, thus ensuring ongoing employment in the many industries associated with them.

I personally pledge to drink at least a six pack every day as a token gesture of my support for this project.

Yours etc etc

Maureen this is serious stuff.
