By Steven Dally
Primary Industry, Water and Environment Minister David Llewellyn has declared himself a believer in the existence of the Tasmanian tiger. Mr Llewellyn yesterday said he lived in hope a Tasmanian tiger might be found despite the thylacine's extinct status. "Yes, I am a believer," he said. "I live in hope that there will be one found one of these days. "My objective as a political candidate was always to find one in an election campaign."
