The Department is happy. If a person is outside the scheme, why would someone else get the money for that, when it is being imported? Why would the levy for 3,000 or 4,000 tonnes go to somebody else? The Department is happy to stand over that and to allow a situation where there are a few operators that are not operating but there is a heap of plastic. People are basically in a quagmire and yet at the same time the Department puts out a contract for one last year and does not seem to be bothered about resolving the issue for the rest.
