Not yet, but I want advice for business owners who are putting out bundles of plastic bags. The birds are destroying the bags with their beaks. I witnessed it at both locations yesterday evening. They would hardly move out of one's way. They are perched on ledges ready to swoop. Litter is being strewn all over the place. We are discussing bin charges and waste management, but this is a terrible situation in our capital city. Senator Norris must be witnessing it as well. Perhaps a repulsive spray can be found if business owners are to continue putting out plastic bags or perhaps they should be encouraged to use wheelie bins, as plastic bags are leaving litter all over the place. I witnessed it last night. It was disgraceful, given that tourists were walking around the place after 11 p.m.
