I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

  (i) the agricultural industry is vital to the Australian economy,

  (ii) farming families face hardships such as drought, floods, fires and damage from feral animals, and

  (iii) volunteer and professional hunters are a key aspect in dealing with feral animals; and

(b) calls on the government to:

  (i) direct the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources to investigate the cost that feral animals have on the Australian agricultural industry, and

  (ii) make public the findings of the above-mentioned study.

I seek leave to make a short statement.
