Each state has their own law.
The Victoria State law in broad terms seems to be similar to ours.

I think from reading the above item and reading the Victoria local papers report, it seems to be more of a case that the Victoria RSPCA have left the panel because they feel the Local Authorities are not doing enough or being strict enough in enforcing the Dog Legislation, rather than leaving in protest at Breed Specific Legislation.

[quote]Mr Tate said he was receptive to the idea of adopting genetic breed tests when the technology was available.

“It’s got hope for the future as a way to sort out these sorts of problems,” he said.[/quote]

a better solution would be changing the laws to help teach people how to train dogs to behave appropriatly ie. Pet Owners Parliment’s alternative, the Pet Owners Suitability Test information found at http://www.dogownershiptest.co.uk/

Nice one Australian RSPCA, just need the UK branch to have the same courage and ditch their partnership working with various police forces and helping to seize dogs using BSL as the excuse to ‘obey orders’
