Animal Welfare

2645. Hon Alison Xamon to the Minister for Environment:

I refer to the issuing of fauna causing damage licences for native fauna, and I ask:

(a)  for each of the last 10 financial years, will the Minister please advise of:

(i)  how many applications for licences were received;

(ii)  the total number of applications granted and rejected, if any;

(iii)  the number of applications granted by species; and

1511. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Racing and Gaming:

I refer to the racehorse welfare plan.

How long does the minister anticipate a comprehensive racehorse census of all current and post-racing thoroughbreds and standardbreds in Western Australia will take to conduct?
