Animal Welfare And Rights In Australia
This article is about the treatment of and laws concerning non-human animals in Australia. Australia has moderate animal protections by international standards. National legislation There is little national animal welfare legislation in Australia; most animal welfare regulations are at the state and territory level. The Australian Animal Welfare Strategy developed a framework for the adoption of a single animal welfare regulation model to be adopted by each state and territory government. This resulted in regulations for the Australian Animal Welfare Standards for the Land Transport of Livestock, which have been implemented in every state except Western Australia. The Advisory Committee related to the Strategy has been disbanded, and the responsibility for further developing the Strategy has been handed over to the states and territories and national funding for animal welfare withdrawn. In 2014 Australia received a C out of possible grades A,B,C,D,E,F,G on World Animal Pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1914 Western Australian State Election
Elections were held in the state of Western Australia on 21 October 1914 to elect 50 members to the Western Australian Legislative Assembly. The Labor party, led by Premier John Scaddan, retained government against the opposition conservative Liberal Party led by Opposition Leader Frank Wilson, though with only the barest of majorities. The election also saw the emergence of the Western Australian Country Party, which had been formed at a conference of the Farmers and Settlers Association the previous year to fight for rural interests, and won eight seats at the election. The fragility of the Labor Party's majority was demonstrated when, a year later, Labor member Joseph Gardiner's seat was declared vacant on account of his non-attendance and a Liberal was elected in his stead, and Labor became a minority government when on 18 December 1915, Bertie Johnston resigned from the Labor Party and became an independent. On 27 July 1916, the Scaddan Ministry was defeated and Wilson b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
