Help ensure that the victims of live export – the sheep – are kept front of mind during this Parliamentary Inquiry process. There are only a few days to speak up on their behalf and support the Bill to end the cruel trade.
After decades of our investigations, exposés, and tireless political lobbying, the Albanese government announced that live sheep export by sea will end on 1 May 2028. Now, the legislation has been introduced, and is expected to be debated and voted on in July.
Over the coming days, submissions are being accepted as part of this government process. As is to be expected, the live export industry is fighting back against the phase-out, and trying to shift the focus away from the animals who pay the ultimate price.
It is imperative that the unavoidable suffering of sheep who are exported alive remains the focus during this stage of the process. By making a submission to the Inquiry into Export Control Amendment (Ending Live Sheep Exports by Sea) Bill 2024, you can help ensure the sheep, and the views of most caring Australians, are represented.
