 Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) presented a petition bearing 4 signatures:

The petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council that reducing the number of Marine Rangers in Victoria is contrary to the benefit of the environment. There cannot be open slather on the catching of marine life. There must be regulators to find people with endangered species and who are overfishing. Many sea areas, for example the Mediterranean Sea, have been fished out because of the lack of regulators.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to increase or keep the current number of Marine Rangers in Victoria.

Melina BATH: I move:

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

Motion agreed to.
