澳大利亚新南威尔士州政府决定撤回一项旨在强制咖啡馆为堂食顾客提供可重复使用杯具并处罚违规者的立法，此举是对媒体和小企业强烈反对的直接回应 1。根据计划，政府将在2027年3月大选后正式废除该法律，其中包括原定从2028年起实施的马克杯或玻璃杯强制使用规定，以及针对未参与复用杯计划企业高达11万澳元的罚款条款 1。环境部长Penny Sharpe指出，撤销这一严厉监管是为了减轻小企业的经营压力 1。
尽管取消了强制堂食使用可重复使用杯具的规定，但其余两项环保改革措施将予以保留：商家必须接受顾客提供的“干净”自带复用杯，且所有一次性外带杯在2028年前必须具备可回收性 1。州长Chris Minns在这一政策反转前曾辩称政府并未完全禁止一次性杯子，但承认可能在政策解释上存在不足，他在面对一周的批评声浪后改变了立场 1。
这一立法变动发生在议会解散前的关键阶段，正值工党面临选举压力及在野党批评监管过严的背景之下 1。在野党的联盟党和One Nation均承诺削减对企业不利的监管或税收，其中One Nation提议将区域地区的工资税降至零 1。近期民调数据显示，工党与One Nation在全国初选得票率持平于28%，而联盟党则为23% 1。
The New South Wales government has announced plans to repeal legislation that would have required cafes to serve dine-in customers with reusable mugs or glasses, marking a significant policy reversal after facing intense criticism from media outlets and small business operators. 1 Environment Minister Penny Sharpe stated that the decision was made to alleviate pressure on small enterprises, confirming that the law will be formally withdrawn following the state election scheduled for March 2027. 1
Premier Chris Minns changed his stance approximately one week after initially defending the regulations, admitting that the government may not have adequately communicated that the policy did not constitute a total ban on disposable cups. 1 While the mandatory use of reusable crockery for dine-in service and penalties of up to AUD 110,000 for businesses failing to participate in reuse programs are being scrapped, two key reform measures remain intact: retailers must continue to accept clean customer-owned reusable cups, and all takeaway disposable cups must be recyclable by 2028. 1
This administrative backflip occurred during the final stages before parliament dissolution, amidst growing electoral pressure and opposition critiques regarding excessive regulation. 1 The Liberal-National Coalition and One Nation have both pledged to reduce burdensome regulatory requirements and taxes on businesses, with One Nation specifically proposing to eliminate payroll tax in regional areas. 1 Recent polling data indicates a tight national primary vote contest, with the Labor Party and One Nation tied at 28% support, while the Coalition trails slightly at 23%. 1
