I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes the latest publicity stunt from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, also known as PETA, who have called for taxpayers to build a memorial to 6,000 chickens killed in a truck crash near Lismore, New South Wales on 27 November 2017;

(b) further notes PETA's history of stunts and attacks on Australia's livestock farming, meat manufacturing, meat retail, hunting and racing sectors, putting regional jobs and economies at risk; and

(c) calls upon the Commonwealth Government and all state and territory governments to resist all attempts by PETA to:

(i) further jeopardise Australia's economy and way of life, and

(ii) make demands upon Australian taxpayers.

Question agreed to.
