I rise today to speak on the important issue of wild dogs in my electorate of Maranoa and the important role our federal government is playing in tackling this scourge that is affecting many primary producers right across Maranoa and impacting the $58 billion agriculture industry in this country. Wild dogs and weed pests are costing $4 billion to the agricultural sector every year. This federal government, through the agricultural white paper, has committed $25.8 million to tackling this issue.
