NSW Inquiry dingoes

BE A VOICE FOR DINGOES OUR UNIQUE NATIVE ANIMALS

NSW Legislative Council (Parliament): Inquiry into dingoes in national parks in New South Wales originally due 17 July 2026 this was extended to Tuesday 21st. The LRC team provide an overview with links to three guides from animal welfare experts.

Write just one short paragraph or write a document covering each of the key focus areas under the Terms of Reference.

Use the Submission contact form OR upload a separate document.

Individual submissions will be valued above proformas/ petitions, and AI responses if too many are look-a-likes to the original works of others.

The LRC team provides suggestions for producing your own submission. We provide summaries for

• the Inquiry Terms of Reference objective and key focus areas
• three expert guides, from Defend the Wild, the Animal Justice Party and the Humane World for Animals.

Scan through these (summaries below) to decide your familiarity with the concerns and recommendations, your preferred level of detail, then tailor a response based on your own writing style!

You do not need to be an expert! Anyone can send in a response, not just NSW residents.

But do it before midnight on Friday 17th July!

Objective: “inquire into and report on the treatment and the cultural and ecological significance of dingoes in national parks in New South Wales”

Very easy to use, first comes your personal information, then the submission in one online form or an upload of a prepared document.

We always suggest you pre-write your submission, and retain a copy. Just send yourself an email if working on your mobile phone.

This is the most comprehensive guide. A wealth of information listed as points under each TOR key focus area, with more links to relevant detailed information.

You may just choose to just use their three main recommendations, and customise to your concerns and feelings.

We suggest you do not directly copy, and do not use AI to summarise / reword their detailed points – we believe this guide is likely to be a base for comparison of submissions.

1. Don’t miss the date cutoff!! by Tuesday 21 July (date extended from Friday 17th July).
2. Don’t feel you have to be an expert, there’s plenty of inspiration in the above guides, and you may do your own research (internet searches).
3. Plan ahead – schedule time in your diary 🙂 from 15 mins through an hour if you have that – there are SIX key focus areas if you can respond to all of these – however just completing one short paragraph will be valuable too!!
