🟡 Medium · Motion18 March 2026 · 64 words

Motion seeks review of dingo classification as pests and lethal control methods in WA.

Potential changes to dingo management and biosecurity legislation are being considered.

That this house calls on the Cook government to: (a) investigate ending the current classification of dingoes as 'pests' in Western Australia's biosecurity legislation that underpins lethal control; and (b) investigate ending widespread, government-funded 1080 poison baiting and strychnine foothold trapping of dingoes.
