I do not accept that 70% is acceptable in the first place when someone is getting 100% of a levy. That is 30% of plastic that is left out there. Independent operators are doing this and getting none of the levy. Over 2 million bales are being left there every year. When Mr. Moloney has replied, I want to ask what the Department is doing to ensure that plastic is being removed from the countryside.
