\nAustralian Greens Animal Welfare spokesperson Senator Mehreen Faruqi has welcomed the Australian Government\u2019s response to the Senate inquiry into the feasibility of a national horse traceability register but said that work must immediately commence.
\nSenator Faruqi established the inquiry in early 2019, and the committee reported in November. Senator Faruqi said:
\n\u201cIt\u2019s great that the government supports a traceability register, but now we need action.
\n\u201cTen months have passed since the committee reported, and six months have passed since the working group was announced. That group hasn\u2019t even been established, let alone met.
\n\u201cThe states and territories have an important role to play but this is no reason for the federal government to distance itself from this issue. A national register requires national leadership. It\u2019s time for the Minister to drive this process.
\n\u201cNo one wants to see this report gather dust in the back of Minister Littleproud\u2019s office. The government needs to start work immediately.
\n\u201cThe community wants real action on the welfare of horses, rider safety and biosecurity,\u201d she said.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
