3073. Hon Alison Xamon to the Minister for Environment:

I refer to the answer to my question on notice 2766 regarding the food provisioning program at Monkey Mia and the Minister’s response that ‘The provisioning program has not been shown to impact the life expectancy of adult provisioned dolphins or present an impact to the broader Shark Bay dolphin population’, and I ask: will the Minister please provide information about the life expectancy and health impacts on the calves of provisioned adults?

3072. Hon Alison Xamon to the Minister for Environment:

I refer to the answer to my question without notice 58 asked on 13 February 2020 regarding dolphin provisioning at Monkey Mia and the response that the review report was still in peer review stage, and I ask:

(a)  is the peer review of this report now finished;

(b)  if yes to (a), will the Minister please table that report;

(c)  if no to (b), why not; and
