Damn! The fines are higher than bail for murder or attempted murder. I guess government is setting the enforcement officers up to get shot?
This government has lost its mind. Crazy greedy and for what? No bid, secret contracts.

So, what about freedom of information act? You'll can do this crap , but have no time to prevent political corruption? Well, we see what is important and what is not. The government has to be getting pressure from the larger bully countries for it to do this under the guise of night, just like they did with the law that mad3 homosexuality criminal.

And keep them secret

But we don't enforce any laws this this won't happen. We have laws to cover everything already but people still run red lights, bring stuff in without paying duty and politicians never disclose their wealth and nothing happens. This will just be added to the long list of those items on the books but not enforced.

Note that all legislation passed since 1992 includes "summary conviction" and now "Spot fines" thereby bypassing a citizens right to their day in court.
But no one says a word.......
Couple that with selective enforcement.........

The Bahamas say these are banned, but Customs still clear them. The $20,000 fines should be to those officers who clear them and the $100 fine for the users. The thing is the major countries like the United States and the United Kingdom that pushed this ban down our throats still use plastic bags and utensils. This is hogwash and the government is going to hell on a silver platter like a screaming jumping fish. I am not impressed.

We should focus on recycling. Certain types of plastics, such as PET, which accounts for 75% of all plastics can be disposed of through chemical recycling. This process uses a variety of chemicals to reduce a polymer to its original form. This means that it can be used again to create new plastic materials.

We use plastic for water bottles, storage containers, blenders, cooking spoons and some dishes, wrap for our meats, sale of virtually everything in the store except metal cans then we use the plastic bags to carry them home. Then we have or glasses, syringes, interior of our refrigerators, car bumpers and dashboards and interior, our household equipment, medical equipment computers and toys. I guess next we will carry our pots to the grocery store. But the government wants to fine us $20,000 for 'MISUSE' of plastics. How?

We pay an environmental levy of many of these items now and yet the government is not recycling any of our old refrigerators and microwave and cars. What is happening with that millions of dollars?

Great, if only they are enforced.
