Don't expect National to support levies on plastic shopping bags...
Well, the National Party really showed their real colours over the plastic shopping bags story.
They claim to care about the environment but when the time comes to put their money where their cavernous mouths are, they shie away!
Well, they claimed the Labour -led government and their Greens supporters were creating a 'nanny-state' because of the eco-lightbulb fiasco, so we shouldn't really expect anything different from these rightwingers.
The Irish have levied retailers over the use of plastic shopping bags, and have raised millions for environmental projects. Would National follow siut? Yeah right!
