Mr Coe says in a briefing in late October, ACT government officials informed the Canberra Liberals of this fact and despite the government taking a number of questions on notice at the time, Minister Meegan Fitzharris, is yet to provide answers.
“The revelation that a dog that hospitalised a person with serious injuries could be taken to a vet to be patched-up at taxpayers’ expense and then returned to the owner is outrageous,” Mr Coe says.
“The Opposition was advised that this same dog was the animal that caused the fatal injuries to a woman in October.
“The Minister’s handling of this issue, and many other dangerous dog episodes, is appalling.”
