tdierikx Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 There may have been consultation with the various groups undertaken, but it's fairly obvious which ones were actually listened to when it comes to this draft of the proposed legislation. Some of the new stuff is much welcomed, yet there is also a whole lot wrong with it, and some areas that were pointed out as being in dire need of fixing have been left out completely. I haven't gone through it all yet, but some of what I'm seeing so far is concerning to say the least. T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Wow. 7000 submissions and they were the key changes? I can just imagine the case studies in those submissions too, but that was it? A costly exercise and major opportunity missed. They obviously don't want to improve the overall life of animals in our country. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Unfortunately, many submissions are created and shared out to followers of the extreme animal rights agendas/groups. They flood pretty much all such calls for submissions on animal welfare stuff, and count towards "community expectations" in all such legislative changes/updates. It matters not that submissions may be pro forma copies of the exact same thing, it's the number of them that seems to count. If you read the Hansard of Tara's second reading speech on this bill in the NSW parliament, take note of the stakeholders she expressly names... most of them have pretty extreme animal rights agendas... agendas that are working towards no-one being able to share their lives with animals. The NSW Labor government went to the last election with the promise of updating our animal welfare legislation... and this is how they are doing it. No doubt there are a few back-room deals made during the process also... scratch my back and I'll scratch yours sort of thing. T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
