‘Horrific’: Labor’s live sheep export ban will lead to ‘perverse animal welfare’

Nationals Leader David Littleproud says the Albanese Labor government’s live sheep export ban will only lead to “perverse animal welfare outcomes”. His remarks come after Wednesday’s farmers’ rally which took place in Canberra. “There is no scientific reason to shut down the live sheep export industry,” Mr Littleproud told Sky News Australia. “All you will see is the horrific death of millions of sheep from countries like Sudan and Ethiopia and South Africa who take this market up because we’ve cut and run.”
