Honestly, the slogan that these characters run around Western Australia with is 'keep the sheep'. It is the most dishonest slogan I've ever heard. It doesn't say 'protect the live export trade', because nobody supports that proposition. It was tested in a focus group; it is fake, utterly fake.

We are a government—this may be an utterly foreign concept—
