Adjournment

Avian influenza


Michael GALEA

Avian influenza

 Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (22:19): (2756) My adjournment this evening is for the Minister for Environment, and it is something of a follow-up from my adjournment of last sitting week. Since that time I am very excited to hear that the world’s largest wildlife vaccination program to protect our beloved little penguins – some might say fairy penguins – is well underway, and between Phillip Island and St Kilda I understand that 1555 dear little penguins have now received their first vaccination. The update that I seek from the minister is to confirm whether the facts I have this evening are correct.
