The New South Wales premier, Chris Minns, has continued to walk away from a controversial bill from the Shooters and Fishers party establishing a right to hunt on public lands, while also claiming that Labor backed it being sent to a parliamentary committee.

On Tuesday, Minns claimed Labor had supported the referral of the conservation hunting bill for an inquiry and indicated he would look at the committee’s report, but Hansard showed Labor opposed the referral.
