Ending live sheep export.

This is a significant opportunity for the Albanese government to prove to the Australian public that they are serious about delivering on their commitment to end the live sheep export trade.

While they’ve stated that the phase out won’t be completed during this term of government, it must begin. And for that to happen, the phase out needs to be legislated and any financial assistance for farmers must be budgeted for.

With the government making budget decisions right now, it’s imperative that live sheep export is on their agenda. Please use this form to tell the responsible Ministers that the government’s integrity on this issue is at stake and that Australians want to see that they are serious about sparing sheep from this cruel trade.

Over 60 years, hundreds of millions of sheep have suffered in Australia’s live export trade. And the irrefutable evidence shows they suffer at every stage of the journey – on lengthy sea voyages and in importing countries where they face painful, fully conscious slaughter.

Australian sheep have suffered enough. It’s time to legislate the date and end this trade in animal cruelty. Please urge the government to make a plan for the phase out in this year’s budget.
