Steve Irons (Swan, Liberal Party, Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the member for Makin for his support of this particular legislation. It was a commitment made by the coalition back in 2016 election. I know that the member for La Trobe has worked closely with the minister in getting the stakeholders, particularly the Humane Society involved. I have had conversations with Hannah from the Humane Society on this issue and we finally got it to rest last week. There was input from a lot of people and I know the member for Makin has been a supporter. And I would like to congratulate the member for La Trobe, who worked tirelessly to the bill and also the coalition, which brought the bill, and all stakeholders.

Question agreed to.
