I do not entirely agree with Senator Bannon because I believe councils all over the country have been in dereliction of their duty. I am glad we have a Minister who is prepared to take them on, particularly with regard to waste disposal. There is a very clear principle involved and it is not BATNEEC – it is NIMBY, not in my back yard. Each council wants to shift the responsibility from one area to another. That is because councillors are responding to the pressures of local politics – they want to get re-elected and to secure their political careers – but that is not good enough in terms of what amounts to a national waste crisis.
