and wealth to unfair advantage over public policy have been prominent . 3 4 former wa shadow minister john hyde supported allegations that beverage industry lobbyists raised the suggestion of campaigning against labor members if support for cash for containers was not dropped . 5 former treasurer delia lawrie has also reported a meeting where coca cola allegedly offered to fund the country liberal party to oppose a container deposit scheme a claim representatives strongly denied . 3 alec wagstaff director of corporate affairs at coca cola amatil admitted the beverage industry had spent a couple of hundred thousand dollars back in 2008 campaigning against the greens party who strongly promoted the cash for containers scheme . 3 similar tactics used by the beverage industry in western australia have been blamed for the government s rejection of a cash for containers scheme despite the states dismal 20 % container recycling rate . 3 lawsuit against northern territory government edit in 2013 coca cola amatil joined with schweppes and lion in a legal challenge against the northern territory government s cash for containers also known as container deposit legislation recycling scheme arguing it breached the mutual recognition act 1992 . 6 7 this act creates a legal requirement that goods produced in or imported into the first state that may lawfully be sold in that state may be sold in the second state . 8 the beverage companies argued that the recently introduced cash for containers scheme which doubled recycling rates to 30 % in the northern territory in the limited time it operated hindered this right by requiring the company to implement different production processes for the same product in different states and territories . 9 south australia is exempt from legal action as its container deposit scheme precedes the act . 10 the federal court ruled in favour of the beverage companies . 11 12 the ruling sparked public outrage and led to coca cola s facebook

solution . the council of australian governments coag found the cost of a national cds to the economy would be between 1.4 and 1.76 billion but research undertaken by the boomerang alliance in 2008 suggested that such a scheme would in fact bring about saving of up to 84 million . 18 organisations such as keep australia beautiful and the boomerang alliance support the initiative as an addition to cash for containers but argue that if used alone it will make a comparatively insignificant difference to recycling rates . former northern territory chief minister terry mills stated that he would continue to fight against coca cola for cash for containers and called on other states and territories to support the scheme . 9 19 references edit a b c annual report for year ended 31 december 2014
