Greyhounds, Export

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:13): Supplementary: can the minister define which parts of the Animal Welfare Act the racing minister has carriage of?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:13): Mr President, I said to her moments ago that I am responsible for the Animal Welfare Act, for animals housed in South Australia. She is complaining about animals that are being exported overseas, to destinations such as Shanghai and possibly other places. I already have said to her that export matters are under the control of the federal government. I am happy to take on notice any well-researched questions she wants to direct to me, but I ask her not stand in here and grandstand on an issue that she knows nothing about.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!
