I think this happens most years. What the papers don’t often say is that it’s still incredibly controlled, each potential use has to be applied for and there are a lot of rigid stipulations controlling it. Even in years when it has been approved, I don’t think it’s always used.
The approval isn’t just carte blanche for everyone to go spraying it around.
The proposed ban was just designed to generate a little buzz.
I think we established after day one that the election promises were thrown out of the window
