Petitions

Recreational fishing

Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) presented a petition bearing 2947 signatures:

The petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council the community concerns with the Allan Government’s failure to commit to exclude fishing competitions from its new animal care and protection legislation which, if implemented, will make it an offence to organise and participate in a fishing competition in Victoria.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to commit to exempting fishing competitions in the animal care and protection legislation and associated regulations.

Melina BATH: I move:

That the petition be taken into consideration on the next day of meeting.

Motion agreed to.
