Ms Dee Forbes:

It is a combination of factors. The first thing we are hearing from the public is that they would like to know what could be done. There is a need for clarity on the mitigating factors available to the public. The use of plastic has been well discussed. This country banned plastic bags a number of years ago and it has had a real impact. There is a need for clarity on what can be done. Thereafter it is not for me, or the people in this room, to decide what form that should take. Once the mitigating factors in what can and needs to be done are made clear, we can put heads together to decide who should communicate the information and how. I referenced road safety. It was a good example of a collective coming together and making a real priority of ensuring the public knew what to do to ensure their cars were safer, that driving conditions were better and safety belts were being worn. There was a combination of things to make that campaign work. The first objective is to identify the things that can be done and how we communicate the information can be sorted out afterwards.
