Responsibility for litter prosecutions

Summary

Kelly challenged the Minister over litter prosecutions, arguing that litter offences fall under legislation administered by his Department; the Minister said prosecution figures were held by Justice.

The Minister is lecturing us, and rightly so, day in and day out about the national disgrace of litter, yet when he was asked about this he said there were no prosecutions.
