If you are going to spend that sort of money it has to come from somewhere. Will they raise taxes? Divert spending from elsewhere?

Should I buy another gas bottle? (lemmy.nz)
 

I have recently acquired a patio heater with a 9Kg gas bottle. Does anyone know if it will be affected by any future government bans? I don't want to buy another gas bottle if the government will ban them in two years. Or are these gas bottles not effected?

How will the July 1st plastic bag ban affect you? (lemmy.nz)
 

I hear that plastic bags are soon to be banned? How will that affect you? I've already thought about rubbish bags and bin liners and I don't know what the alternative will be yet. If they replace plastic rubber bags with those thick paper ones what is to stop people hiding a plastic bag inside of it? How will it be policed? Will the border customs staff be seizing imported plastic bags at the border?
