live exports
Dear Prime Minister,
John Hasell, President, WAFarmers. I write on behalf of the Western Australian farmers and service businesses that rely on the live sheep trade to support their families and communities. A trade that for purely political reasons your government has decided to end on the logic that it has lost its social licence to operate.
Statement on Independent Panel on live sheep export: NFF
The National Farmers’ Federation notes the Minster’s announcement that an Independent Panel will be established to advise on the proposed phase out of live sheep export. The NFF stands with 24 other peak agricultural bodies and farmers across Australia in opposing the ban on live sheep export, and does not support any process which aims to phase out the trade.
