LIVE EXPORT
255. Mr P.J. RUNDLE to the Premier:
I refer to the recent visit made at
short notice by the federal Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry's
advisory panel on Labor's plans to end live export, when over 1 000
farmers and support industry representatives expressed their concerns over the
threat to their livelihood.
(1) Has the
Premier made any contact with the federal minister regarding this consultation
or the future of the industry?
(2) Considering
the government's reported allocation of $1.6 million in the state
budget to defend WA's share of GST, can we expect some similar measures
to defend this crucial WA industry that accounts for over 97 per cent of
Australia's live sheep exports?
