Greens Member for South Metropolitan Lynn MacLaren MLC has blasted Liberal, Nationals and Shooters and Fishers party MPs for moving to disallow a City of Fremantle plan to introduce a local law that would ban the non-biodegradable single use plastic bags.
“This is a case of complete over-reach,” Ms MacLaren said.
“The City of Fremantle is legally entitled to respond to a campaign by its electors to introduce this local law – and there is nothing to justify State Parliamentarians disallowing it on what are purely ideological and political grounds.
