QuestionView source ↗
My question is without notice. Given the ongoing serious problem of wild dogs in the Kalgoorlie pastoral area affecting livestock operations, especially sheep and lambs, with little success in eradication and reduction evident, I ask - (1) Will the minister review the aerial and ground baiting program bait, which is inferior to previous baits used? (2) Is the minister prepared to introduce a substantial bounty of $200 for each dog scalp to encourage more intensive hunting of wild dogs by professional shooters and pastoralists? Hon KIM CHANCE
AnswerView source ↗
I thank Hon Bruce Donaldson for his question without notice. (1) Yes, I will undertake that review - I believe this is an ongoing issue. I have told the house before about picking up on earlier Department of Conservation and Land Management work to see whether the CALM fox baiting program could be adapted to a dog-based project. I believe I outlined the detail in the past; there is no need to do so again. Some interesting work is also being initiated in Queensland on the use of attractants for both baiting and trapping. I have followed that work with keen interest. The department is following through on the work on attractants, and this was an outcome of work on an idea I asked officers to develop separately. Now that Queensland has contributed some considerable funds into attractants research and development, we hope to pick up some of its work. The work continues on bait quality, and even on the availability of bait, which has been a challenge for us, and I feel confident that we will have a better answer to this question in the future. Unless we find a better answer and a more effective way of using baits, we cannot seriously address the challenges. I concede that this is a major issue and, notwithstanding the fact that we are now spending close to $1.9 million annually of taxpayers’ money on this problem and a significant amount of pastoralists’ money, both directly and indirectly, we are not succeeding in dealing with this problem effectively and we must face up to that. Hon Bruce Donaldson : Aniseed was very good for foxes. Hon KIM CHANCE : Yes. I think the work Queensland is doing on attractants generally has every prospect of success. I wish we had started it and not Queensland. (2) On the question of a bounty, my answer is probably not, but I will remain open to anybody who comes forward with an idea, including bounties. Members will be aware that a year or so ago we did reintroduce the concept of bounties, albeit probably at too low a level to be effective. Although people said that program was unsuccessful, I still rated it as a marginal success. I will put the question to the zone control authorities, who are ultimately responsible for instituting something of this nature, and ask them if they think it might be successful. I will not commit to that, and that is why I said “probably not”. I will listen to any reasonable idea about how we can get on top of this problem.
