The Member for South-West Coast, Denis Napthine, says it is inappropriate for 
animal rights activists to attend a public meeting discussing the live export 
trade in Portland.
Animal Liberation's Ralph Hahnheuser says he will try to attend the meeting, 
even though his bail conditions prevent him from going within 500 metres of 
the port.
Mr Hahnheuser was in court again yesterday on charges of contaminating goods 
with the intent of causing economic harm and trespassing after an incident at 
Portland last year.
Dr Napthine says the activists will only disrupt what will be an important 
meeting.
"The meeting in Portland on February 4 is a very important meeting to discuss 
the Keniry report and particularly the outrageous recommendation in the 
report that the live export trade be suspended or banned from southern ports such 
as Portland and Adelaide during the winter months in Australia," he said.


"The world is a dangerous place,
not because of those who do evil,
but because of those who look on and do nothing.",
Albert Einstein
