My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, one year ago today Four Corners publicised Australian cattle being brutalised in Indonesia. In response, the government introduced some protections for animal welfare, but recent TV footage of more animal abuse in Indonesia proves the government's reforms are entirely inadequate. Prime Minister, will the government support my bill requiring stunning of all Australian livestock shipped overseas and, if not, why not?
