In reply to the Hon. T.A. FRANKS (3 May 2018).

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment):

The Minister for Environment and Water has advised me that he has responsibility for any breaches of the Animal Welfare Act 1985 and has been monitoring this issue through the RSPCA who carry out compliance on behalf of the government regarding the Animal Welfare Act.

Whilst compliance with the Animal Welfare Act 1985 is mandatory within South Australian borders and for three nautical miles from our coastline, it has no jurisdiction for the rest of the journey.
