Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 795 asked in the Legislative Council on 1 September 2022 by Hon James Hayward

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

FERAL PIGS — SOUTH WEST

795. Hon JAMES HAYWARD to the Minister for Agriculture and Food:

I refer to the management of feral pigs in the south west region.

(1) Can the minister advise if the feral pig population is growing in the south west region of Western Australia?

(2) If yes to (1), what specific areas and locations are of particular concern to the minister?

(3) What enhanced management solutions have been considered by the government to reduce or eradicate the feral pig population in the south west region?

(4) Will the minister consider incentivising recreational and professional shooters to specifically target feral pigs in Western Australia?

Hon DARREN WEST replied:

I cannot answer on behalf of the Minister for Agriculture and Food, President, as I do not seem to have that answer in my file. Hopefully, it will be here by the end of question time.
