Eastern Metropolitan Region

Mr BARTON (Eastern Metropolitan) (12:23): (1947) My question is for the Minister for Local Government. I had a constituent in Manningham contact me regarding rebates on cloth nappies and plastic-free period products. 3.75 million disposable nappies are used each day in Australia and New Zealand. These end up in landfill. Cloth nappies and plastic-free period products are environmentally friendly alternatives. Because of this some councils are providing rebates for these products. Unfortunately this rebate is not provided by the Manningham City Council, so I ask if there are any plans for rebates on cloth nappies and plastic-free period products to be rolled out throughout the Eastern Metropolitan Region.
