Mr WOOD - 2004-08-18
How many prosecutions has the Animal Welfare Authority pursued since the Labor government was elected, and how many have been successful?
Members interjecting.
Mr Elferink: None, none, none.
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I welcome the question from the member for Nelson, and I pick up on the interjections from the members opposite, especially at the back, because they say: ‘None, none, none’.
Mr Elferink: One.
Mr AH KIT: One. Well, that may be the case and I will get my staff to find out for sure.
Members interjecting.
Mr AH KIT: Well, hang on, let me finish. You just cannot help yourselves. You should take your tablets and settle down.
From memory, two or three, and I do not know whether they were successful. However, it is easy for them to say: ‘None, none’. We were in government three years; that is fine. How many happened in your time for 27 years?
Members interjecting.
Mr AH KIT: Sorry? How many? In 27 years, how many? No, cannot hear you.
I will provide that answer for the member for Nelson. However, there have only been two or three prosecutions. I will find out how many have been successful. I can say for the record that the members opposite were very quiet whilst in government for 27 years. I do not believe that they had any prosecutions and any successes.
