Plastic pollution in the ocean


This is a very special senators’ statement. Nearly six years ago, Senator Whish-Wilson made his first ‘senators’ statements’, as it was called—it’s now a matter of public interest—on the growing threat of marine plastics, or plastics in our oceans. It was the first speech that had ever been given in the Australian Parliament on the issue of plastic pollution in the oceans. When that speech was made six years ago, the issue of marine plastic pollution was not yet seen by many people as a major environmental threat, but it certainly is now.
