What would be the rational basis for banning the sharing of hunted meat?

It's got tangled up with rules for the commercial meat industry in a new bill that just got passed.

The Bill states a person must not sell or dispose of meat for human consumption unless the meat is from a consumable animal slaughtered at a meat processing facility licensed for that purpose.

But the "must not dispose" is the bit that caused concern.

However:

"Noting an exemption under section 35, the Victorian branch of Sporting Shooters Association of Australia, tried to allay concerns, dismissing the reports about the “hunter food ban” as misinformation.

In a statement posted June 2, the SSAA asserted, “We are pleased to confirm that Victorian hunters have nothing to worry about and that the Bill in question made no material changes that would impact recreational hunters.”

The organisation added, “The changes in question (to the Meat Industry Act 1993) were effectively ‘housekeeping’. New offences were introduced regarding the sale of meat for human consumption; however, these explicitly exclude game meat (an exemption order under section 35 of the Meat Industry Act 1993 applies).”"

If it were to be true which its not I would still be farming meat out to friends and family. A mate was here for the week and we made 50/50 veni / pork snags and salamis (pure pork). There will be a few recipients to share in the spoils.

A mate of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I said "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother's got a moustache!"
