My question is to the Minister for Resources and Northern Australia, Senator Canavan. As you know, there are more than 60,000 sheep stranded in a feedlot on the outskirts of Perth with nowhere to go. They were due to be shipped off to the Middle East earlier this week. Now that the federal government has suspended the licence for Emmanuel Exports, can the minister explain if he had consultation with the exporter prior to the suspension of the licence and how many times? Secondly, what time frame constitutes a northern summer export ban?
