In a landmark decision, the Australian Government has announced the long-awaited end date for the live sheep export trade – May 1, 2028 – after more than 60 years of operation.

Agriculture Minister Murray Watt’s recent announcement marks the culmination of decades of advocacy by dedicated supporters like you – from sending thousands of emails to MPs to supporting our investigations uncovering the cruel reality of this trade.

The government’s commitment to legislate this change within this parliamentary term is a testament to the power of persistent public advocacy and an acknowledgment of shifting community attitudes towards animals.

As you know, getting here was no easy feat, and this announcement has already sparked intense lobbying efforts by the live export industry. Despite this, Labor’s announcement has demonstrated that compassion and ethical considerations can indeed guide government policy.

Show decision-makers that compassionate policies will be celebrated

As we prepare to see this decision enshrined in law, let’s take a moment to express our gratitude to the government for following through with their promise to end the trade. A simple message of thanks can reaffirm the importance of this decision and encourage further positive outcomes for animal welfare.

Thank the Labor Government for announcing an end to the live sheep trade!
