Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Animal Welfare Animal Welfare The Hon. T.A. FRANKS Legislative Council Animal Welfare The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:05): Supplementary arising from the original answer on companion animals: did the minister deliberately mean to denigrate in his answer the work of the member for Fisher in bringing up the issue of companion animals and, indeed, these law reforms we are now considering on all sides of parliament or did he forget that it was the member for Fisher who first had a private member's bill on this issue? 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 Animal Welfare The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:05): What a very silly question. I invite the honourable member to go back and read Hansard this afternoon and try to find any reasonable pretext for that supplementary question and come back and ask it again.
