Department of Health | Report: Economic and social impacts of recreational hunting and shooting
The Department of Health engaged RM Consulting Group to undertake an impact assessment of recreational hunting and shooting in Australia during 2018-19. The objectives of this study were to:SENATOR MCKENZIE PRAISES RECREATIONAL HUNTING AND SHOOTING 👏
Federal Minister for Agriculture, Senator Bridget McKenzie, has praised the findings of a survey into the benefits of recreational hunting and shooting, commissioned by herself when she was Minister for Sport in the past Parliament.
Undertaken by RM Consulting Group, the study assessed the economic and social impacts of recreational hunting and shooting in Australia; and found participants contributed $2.4 billion to the economy last financial year.
Senator McKenzie says the results also found participants are generally more physically active, and have higher levels of well-being, than the general population.
"It also shows that there are significant personal health benefits. Hunters and shooters are happier than the general population and also more active," she says.
"We've come here to rebut and debunk some of the prejudices that exist sometimes in the media and broader Australia about who law-abiding firearms owners are and what we do."
