Minister, an RSPCA survey shows that 71 per cent of Western Australians—and Western Australia is where the majority of Australian sheep are exported from—support a phase-out. Independent polling commissioned by my office shows that 85 per cent of Australians support a phase-out of live sheep exports. An overwhelming 82 per cent of submissions to the independent panel advising on the phase-out are supportive of it. Minister, can you confirm that Labor intends to keep its promise to phase-out live sheep exports?
