Fox review
I note today’s statement by Tasmania Police regarding its review of documentation relating to the fox eradication program.
Relevant information has now been provided to the Department for consideration and the Integrity Commission has been advised.
The Department is thoroughly examining the information provided by Tasmanian Police to determine if further action is required.
I want to assure Tasmanians that this Government takes the matter very seriously, and if any further action within Government is required we will do so in an appropriate and transparent manner.
Tens of millions of dollars were spent on the fox eradication program by the previous Labor and Labor-Green governments, and Tasmanians rightly expect this matter to be treated seriously.
