Feral Animals

In reply to the Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) ().7 September 2022).

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I thank the honourable member for her question and provide the following response:

Following the 2019-20 bushfires, the SA and commonwealth governments committed $2.67 million from the Disaster Rebuilding and Resilience Program to eradicate feral pigs from Kangaroo Island.

Some of the learnings from the Kangaroo Island program may be applicable to other feral species.
