Animal Welfare

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [9.51 pm]: I rise because I want to respond to the ABC’s horrific 7.30 report that was aired last Thursday, which I was horrified to watch after I arrived home from Parliament. That was, of course, the report that highlighted the incredibly cruel practices occurring over east within the horseracing industry.

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [5.34 pm]: I want to make some comments about my concerns relating to the greyhound racing industry, particularly in relation to answers to questions that I asked in Parliament this week. People would know that I have a strong position, as do the Greens, against the barbaric greyhound racing industry. I am looking forward to the day that it is finally banned.
