I want to add to this today by saying that, in what I believe was a show of shocking hypocrisy, two vocal supporters of the live exports bill, the member for Farrer, Sussan Ley, and the member for Corangamite, Sarah Henderson, who were recently elevated to the outer ministry in Prime Minister Morrison's reshuffle, voted against a motion to bring on their own bill for debate. In a joint press statement issued yesterday, both MPs directly contradicted their previous public statements that this issue should not be directed by political considerations and that industry self-regulation would not prevent serious breaches of animal welfare standards on long-haul exports of live sheep.
