#FairGoForAnimals Campaign Launch

Do you care about animals and want to see Australia's broken animal welfare system fixed? Then this is an event not to be missed! The #FairGoForAnimals campaign by the Australian Alliance for Animals proposes a new framework for creating a more balanced and independent animal welfare governance structure in Australia. The launch features the release of the 'Building a fairer Australia for animals' report, with an opening address provided by Alliance Board Chair the Hon Dr Craig Emerson. The Alliance team will explain the importance of the key reforms outlined in the report, including: Why we need a properly funded and resourced National Animal Welfare Commission to make the system truly independent Why we need to create Ministers for Animal Welfare and state/territory Animal Welfare Authorities to make sure that the interests of animals really count in animal welfare policy Why we need fair and accountable animal welfare standards and decision-making processes Why animals should be recognised as sentient beings with intrinsic value under the law.
