ANIMAL ACTIVISTS —
TRESPASS LEGISLATION
860. Mr P.A. KATSAMBANIS to the Premier:
I have a supplementary question.
Why has this proposed trespass legislation been given only a low BX priority
for drafting, instead of the highest OO priority, when livestock farmers and
the community are crying out for urgent protection from these activists?

Again, the putative shadow Attorney
General, the bloke advocating for the job from Michael Mischin—that is
something to aspire to—is coming forward with a view about an issue
that the last government did nothing about. In eight and a half years it did
nothing. Does the member think that the idea of protesting about food
production is new and something that has just occurred? The former government
did nothing about it. We are working currently on coming up with the legislation
that is required to deal with this matter, and I am sure the Attorney General
will ensure that that legislation comes before the house in due course.
The SPEAKER : That is the end
of question time.
