Labor’s pig plan is overdue and under-funded

28th May 2018

"Labor’s $1 million is simply not enough to tackle Queensland’s feral pig problem.

"The LNP had promised $3 million for this initiative at the election.

"We welcome Labor copying the LNP’s plan to manage feral pigs and control the spread of Panama TR4 disease, but the funding just isn’t enough.

"It’s another example of Labor ignoring the needs of agriculture and regional communities.

"Agriculture is vital to Queensland but it’s being neglected by Labor."
