LECTURE SERIES SPEAKERS

Animals have traditionally been overlooked in politics, resulting in laws that fail to protect them from exploitation, abuse and neglect. This Federal Election year, the Voiceless Animal Law Lecture Series will look at the rapidly growing global movement to represent animals in politics, and use political processes to achieve positive change for animals.

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.
