ANIMAL ACTIVISM
243. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Police:
I refer to media and social media
reports this week indicating that animal activist groups, such as Aussie Farms,
are planning to stage a major national event on Monday, 8 April 2019.
(1) Is the minister or her agencies aware of any
animal activist event planned in Western Australia on this day?
(2) If yes, what security advice is
she able to provide in relation to this?
(3) Will the
state government provide any additional resources to assist farmers,
agricultural enterprises and regional communities in responding to any planned
activist events?

I thank the member for the question.
(1)–(3)
I think this is an important issue—an issue that our government takes
very seriously. We do not support animal activist events that disrupt people
going about their lawful business. We will endeavour to provide what support we
can. I understand that the police are aware of the event and they will provide
support and the necessary resources. I expect that they will communicate with
the relevant parties.
