ENVIRONMENT, RESOURCES AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE: NATIVE FAUNA

Adjourned debate on motion of Hon. M. J. Elliott:

That this Council calls on the committee to examine and report on the interaction of native animals with agricultural activities and, in particular, current proposals and/or approvals to shoot native bird species.

(Continued from 28 July.)

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: The Opposition supports this motion. There have been a number of instances lately where the interaction of native animals and agricultural activities has created some problems. It seems an eminently sensible measure for the Environment, Resources and Development Committee of this Parliament to consider. We support the Hon. Mike Elliott's motion.

The Hon. DIANA LAIDLAW (Minister for Transport and Urban Planning): I was provided with some briefing notes. I did not sight them. I do not have them with me in this place. They have gone back to the office. I cannot find the Minister, so I assume we go with the numbers.

The Hon. M.J. ELLIOTT: I thank all members for their overwhelming support for this motion and look forward to its speedy passage.

Motion carried.
