Government response to the report on the Criminal Code Amendment (Animal Protection) Bill 2015
[Extract from response letter to President of the Senate]
Dear President
I am writing to convey the Government’s response to the Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee’s report on the Criminal Code Amendment (Animal Protection) Bill 2015, which predates the 47th Parliament.
The Government notes each recommendation of the report. However, given the passage of time since the report was tabled, a substantive Government response is no longer appropriate.
Please accept this letter as the Government’s response to the Committee’s report. A copy of this letter has also been provided to Senator Glenn Sterle, Chair of the Senate Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport Legislation Committee.
Yours sincerely
[signature redacted]
Michelle Rowland MP
