Abstract
As the country prepares for a federal election later this year, this presentation provides a timely overview of the key federal animal protection issues that we as citizens should be asking our representatives about. Major issues include the live animal export trade and commercial hunting of kangaroos. An effective way (potentially) of tackling these and other animal protection issues is through the establishment of an independent office of animal welfare.
