Ugh, why start in a place like Australia when the US and the UK could definitely stand to do more about their over use of bags. I mean, we have a thing over here where if you re-use bags then you get points and stuff but, meh.
Perhaps they should have done what they did in Ireland, which was to start charging like 2p for bags. That way people remembered to bring thier own, but if they really needed them they could still afford.

Getting rid of bags completely seems so abrupt!
