Primary Industries and Water – Feral Pigs
Minister, we're hearing increasing reports from the community about the impact of feral pigs, and we know how incredibly detrimental they can be. They are just one of the increasing numbers of invasive species that we're hearing about. There are also reports of, for example, goats. Obviously, the tracking of these animals would be easy under the new PIC scheme coming in. From 2025 that would be easier. When this happens, will the government be declaring unmarked roaming pigs and goats and other destructive animals as a pest under the Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulations 2021 so that it will enable effective control of these animals?
