Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Dog Fence DOG FENCE The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS Legislative Council DOG FENCE The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:00): Is the minister alarmed by reports of the significant impact of dingoes on calving numbers in properties north of the dog fence, where Operation Biteback is not available, and is the impact of wild dogs in the cattle properties north of the dog fence a significant part of the wild dog strategy? The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Minister, part of that supplementary is seeking opinion, but you can answer it how you see fit. The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:01): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary. As far as I am aware, wild dogs are not controlled north of the dog fence—they are not baited—and my remit really relates to the dog fence and those areas south.
