Australia's Opposition seeks to resume live sheep exports

"We’ve seen this form from Labor governments before, such as when they attempted to cripple the northern Australian cattle industry with their illegal ban on cattle exports to Indonesia, just as mustering season was getting underway," added Paul Brown, the Nationals' WA Senate candidate.

“We tried to tell the government, we warned them this would happen and now we are seeing it play out," remarked Valerie Pretzel, Western Australia Shearing Industry Association Executive Officer. "For the good of agriculture, regional WA and the state, this ban must be overturned."
