The membership is in line with the Policy Statement on Animal Welfare. The organisations suggested in the Statement for representation on the Committee were asked for nominations from which the most suitable was selected. Account was also
- taken of the need to meet the. Governments policy in relation to an equal gender representation. With regard to a representative of the Pet Shop Industry and Research and* Teaching, active and experienced people were selected.
(9) One member of the Animal Welfare Advisory Committee represents Animal Liberation (ACT).
(10) The Animal Welfare Advisory Committee will make recommendations to me on appropriate requirements for horse racing and egg production. I will consider the advice when it is received.
(11) Each Code of Practice will be subject to appropriate consultation. Relevant industry representatives will be consulted during development of their specific Codes of Practice, as has already taken place with the Poultry Code, the Pet Shop Code-and the Horse Racing Code. Codes which have a greater impact on the public, such as care and control of pets, may be released for public comment. Once Codes are approved by me, they are available to the public and are tabled in the ACT Legislative Assembly and subject to disallowance.
