Australia to ban controversial live sheep exports by sea from May 2028
https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/australia-ban-controversial-live-sheep-exports-by-sea-may-2028-2024-05-11/
Why is the Australian government being gutless wonders and waiting until 2028? Scared of doing what a majority of Australian people have been demanding for more than 10 a decade and want a chance to backflip before the next election?
NoteChoice7719 made a comment on the article that is a valuable insight, so I'm going to copy it here:
The OP posted some links from what they claimed were “independent” groups opposed to the live export ban. In reality doing a bit of digging just one of these group’s boards is stacked with industry heavyweights who profit from the trade:
- Pastoral Company CEO
- Director of a sheep export company
- Managing Director of a livestock company
- Cattle company director
- Beef cattle farmer
- Livestock Company CEO
There is going to be a huge astroturfing operation about this, expect all these so called ‘farmers’ to appear on breakfast TV crying about how Labor is ‘destroying lives in the bush’, be aware they are not genuine.
