(a) No. Muir's Corella is a protected native species which is currently listed as "rare or likely to become extinct" pursuant to the
Wildlife Conservation Act 1950
and ranked as "endangered" by the WA Threatened Species Scientific Committee.
It is also listed as vulnerable under Section 178 of the Commonwealth Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
(b) Yes.
(c) Yes. I will now table the report, commissioned by the former Minister for Agriculture, titled 'Report on Agricultural Impact of Muir's Corella, 30 June 2008' which has had the personal details of the land holders involved removed.
