Restricted breed dogs
Matthew GUY (Bulleen) (10:05): Recently in Doncaster there was a dog attack from an XL bully dog, which is a banned breed of dog in the United Kingdom and which, while restricted in Victoria, is not banned. It was another terrifying dog attack. While the council will fine the owner, the dog will not be put down because the species is not banned. I again call upon the government, as I have in this chamber before, to increase dangerous dog legislation fees and also revisit some of the breeds that are considered banned and possibly increase them, but also include XL bully dogs, which are clearly dangerous and clearly can kill. They in fact killed 23 people in three years in the United Kingdom. I call on the minister to act.
