Petitions

Live Animal Exports

To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives:

This petition of year 12 students at Leeming Senior High School, Perth, WA, draws attention to the House, the shocking treatment of our live stock in Indonesia by certain abattoirs as was shown on the ABC's 4Corners expose (Monday 30th May 2011).

We therefore ask the House to: suspend all livestock being delivered to Indonesian abattoirs which do not up hold the highest standards (Australian Standards) of animal Welfare.
