Yeah, but. Because people don't have those grey bags anymore to use as garbage bags, they then have to go buy real garbage bags instead. Kinda defeats the purpose as well as being a goldmine for the garbage bag manufacturers.
I use the flimsy thin green fruit n vege bags for my rubbish. A bit harder to work with, but they are surprisingly strong ... they are bags i would have got anyway, but in the past just screwed up and put in the rubbish, now they have a reuse.... so i am happy i have taken one level of plastic out of the equation

It's really not that hard to take the cloth bags to the shops with you. A lot fewer of those green bags will end up in landfill, coz they get re-used (many many times). And if you forget, you pay up, but you can reuse the 15 cent bags. They brought these rules in in the ACT 10-15 years ago...people (including me) whinged...then just got used to it.
They were charging for plastic bags in supermarkets in Sweden 20 years ago. Most people used them as bin bags rather than reuse them.

A Saudi Prince wants to buy a bull, so he goes to see a famous Russian bovine breeder.
The Russian tells him, "I have many good animal. Here is Swedish bull, is born black color, but color turns white when grows."
"Over there is American bull. Color when born is red, but become dark brown when full grown."
"And here, Turkish bull. They is born dark brown, but grow up to be light brown color."
The prince says, "I rather like the Turkish bulls. Fine specimens indeed."
"Excellent choice, your majesty. But Turkish bull is special. They is bred for royalty, like you. But if you have royal blood, you must be bonding with bull calf when young, before they change color. Or they will reject you," the Russian explains.
"Well", the prince says, "I'm looking for a strong, adult bull. I'm not particularly interested in buying a calf. I rather like this big, beige bull over here."
The prince attempts to pet the large Turkish bull. It sniffs his hand, shakes its head in disgust, turns around and kicks the prince with its hind legs.
The prince goes flying across the room and lands in a pile of hay.
"Where did you get such a horrible beast?! Why did it kick me!?" He sputters.
"I told you. From Turkey." The Russian explains. "Is tan bull, can't stand a noble."
