It's Monday morning, the week before the big container deposit debate (I hope), so it's all a bit serious in the office.

But not serious enough to prevent us coming up with the idea of a photo competition on the 10c deposit facebook site whereby people send pictures of littered bottles, cans and cartons "in the wild", and the winner gets a beanbag.  As always, we come up with these ideas, look at each other and say "can MPs do that?!". 

I thought I'd crank up the blog again, because there's so much going on behind the scenes.

On Friday I went to Hobart for the EPHC meeting  - this is where all the state and federal environment ministers get together to make decisions as a group. I wasn't invited, but I had heard that our own Victorian Environment Minister had decided not to attend, so I knew it was the best chance ever for a good environmental outcome.
