Animal Welfare

871. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Racing and Gaming:

I refer to the answer to my question on notice 2886 on the distribution of TAB funds for animal welfare, and specifically greyhound welfare, and to the response that this will be handled through the minister’s approval of Racing and Wagering Western Australia’s strategic development plan. Can the minister please advise the criteria that will be used to approve or recommend changes to the strategic plan?

2991. Hon Alison Xamon to the Minister for Agriculture and Food:

(1)  Does the McGowan Government have any plans to assist or enhance the capacity of the local meat processing sector to value-add within Western Australia to create processed products suitable for export?

(2)  If no to (1), why not?

(3)  Is the Government providing any assistance to support the production, marketing and export of Western Australian chilled and boxed meat products?
