Calls for government to impose 'fast fashion tax' after startling revelation

There are calls to impose a “fast fashion tax” after Australia has been revealed as the largest consumer in the clothing industry. Australian Institute Economy and Waste Program Director Nina Gbor joined Sky News Australia to discuss the impact fast fashion was having on Australia’s waste disposal industry. Ms Gbor explained the direction a “fast fashion tax” would take. “That would slow down the consumption of fast fashion,” Ms Gbor said. “We recommend that fund be invested into Australian businesses that are manufacturing and producing in more sustainable and circular measures.”
