LIVE EXPORT — FEDERAL GOVERNMENT POLICY
235. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Premier:
I refer to the recent letter signed
by 27 signatories calling on the Premier to stand up to the federal government
in its ideological mission to ban live export. Noting the confidence this team
of industry leaders has put in the Premier to stand up to Canberra, will he
reiterate his support in this place and publicly call upon the Prime Minister
to keep his hands off the live sheep trade?

The federal minister, Murray Watt,
made this announcement on 3 March—a month ago. This is the first time
the member has asked me about it. That is how much the member cares about it.
There have been nine sitting days since then. The member has not raised it.
Obviously, it is not that important to him. We have outlined our position
before. The commonwealth government has made its position plain. Any transition
or compensation will be the commonwealth's responsibility.
