Tax the bottles

Finally we had a bottled water solution in yesterday morning’s letters. Tax the bottles and every other plastic bottle containing water, whether flavoured or not.

Ten cents domestically ex the wholesaler and another 10 cents when exported as it crosses the wharf.

Domestic tax for plastic clean-up in New Zealand. Export tax for marine plastic clean-up. Can we just do it, please?
