Senator CHISHOLM (Queensland) (18:18): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator CHISHOLM: Whilst Labor supports the intention of Senator Anning's motion for the government to undertake a study to investigate the cost that feral animals have on Australian agricultural industries, the Senate should also note that this is only one part of the feral animal issue. If the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources is directed to undertake such a study, the terms of reference for the study must be developed with stakeholders and other research institutions to ensure that not only is the impact cost identified but strategies and associated costs on how to deal with the impact of feral animals form part of the study.
