Greyhounds, Export

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:11): Does the minister dispute that he has carriage of the Animal Welfare Act? Why then has the minister previously introduced legislation with regard to the welfare of greyhounds in this state to this place?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:11): It seems pretty logical to me that the Animal Welfare Act pertains to animals kept in South Australia. The honourable member is talking about export out of the country to overseas destinations. None of these levers I have any control over.
