Petition to the Honourable Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament.

This petition of certain residents of the State of Western Australia draws to the attention of the House the proposal to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species to reintroduce limited trade in elephant parts

Your petitioners therefore request the House to note that those petitioners whose signatures appear below:

1. Oppose this proposal and find the trade in elephant parts as being abhorrent and repugnant, and a threat to the endangered species;

2. Call on the Federal Government to totally oppose any proposal to reintroduce trade in elephant parts, whether limited or unlimited.
