STATE FORESTS — FIREARMS HUNTING
344. Mr C.J. TALLENTIRE to the Minister
for Environment:
I refer to the Legislative Council
report recommending a trial of hobby hunting in state forests and on public
lands in Western Australia.
(1) Has the
minister's department provided him with an estimate of the cost to the
state of notifying local communities, establishing warning signs, monitoring,
registering, certifying marksmanship, and GPS tracking?
(2) How will the
minister ensure that there will be no conflict with non-lethal users of state
forest and public lands, such as campers, bushwalkers and wildflower tourists?

(1)–(2) I
thank the member for Gosnells for the question. Unfortunately, the member for
Gosnells has jumped the gun a little bit on that one.
Several members interjected.
Mr
A.P. JACOB : That actually was not an intended pun.
I will be bringing down my response
to that report on Tuesday of next week. A standing committee of the Legislative
Council has brought down a report. I have considered many of that report's
recommendations.
Mr
M. McGowan : Answer the question!
Mr
A.P. JACOB : I will answer that question, Leader of the Opposition—yes,
I will—at the appropriate time, and that is next Tuesday, and I am
explaining that.
Mr
M. McGowan interjected.
Mr
A.P. JACOB : That is the process of this place. The Leader of the Opposition
has been here for a long time. The committee has brought down its report. I
have been considering its recommendations; I have absolutely sought the advice
of the Department of Parks and Wildlife in considering those recommendations;
and I will be delivering my response to that report next Tuesday.
