 Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) (13:06): (2039) My question is to the Minister for Outdoor Recreation. Game licence renewals for duck, quail and deer must be completed online by the Game Management Authority’s My Game Licence system by 31 December. This process requires an individual email address and completion of online modules. Many constituents, some who are trades and labour members in Latrobe Valley and others who are Field & Game members right across my electorate, have raised serious concerns. They estimate up to 20 per cent of hunters cannot renew their licence because there is no alternate for those without internet access. Minister, for the thousands of hunters in my electorate who will not be able to access and renew their licences, will you ensure fairness by providing a paper-based solution for the education modules and the licence renewal so all hunters can comply without being disadvantaged by the digital-only requirements?
