Kangaroo Pet Food Trial

Victorian Parliament - September 10, 2019 Ms KEALY: Earlier this year the government extended the kangaroo pet food trial to 30 September to provide continuity to current participants in the kangaroo pet food trial while arrangements for the new program are established. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning website states: Further information about this program will be provided as its development progresses. But with less than a month before the current program ends no information about the new program has been made available to local farmers, shooters or businesses. We must actively manage our kangaroo population, and I urge the minister to act as soon as possible to inform our locals when this information will be forthcoming.
