Gippsland East electorate
Tim BULL (Gippsland East) (14:41): (792) My question is to the Minister for Environment, and the information that I am seeking on behalf of a number of farmers in my electorate is whether there are plans to put any additional resources into feral pig control in East Gippsland. We have a situation where the impact not only on the environment but also potentially on farms is significantly increasing as these populations make their way south. As we know, this feral species is a vector of disease on top of the environmental damage they cause. It is a problem that we are not getting on top of; it is out of control. I ask the minister for any information on what plans he has to increase control measures.
