I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) The Cook Labor government is working across
the entire red meat supply chain, including through on-farm research and
development and by providing advice and support on transport, processing,
market access and export opportunities. This includes ongoing collaboration
with producer groups, processor bodies, state and national industry groups and
our network of Invest and Trade offices in key markets.
(2) The Cook Labor government supports local abattoirs
through the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and the
Western Australian Meat Industry Authority by providing advice and support;
value add investment grants, including to support investment in cold storage; the
small-scale abattoir voucher program; and loans for cooperatives.
