Live Animal Exports: Sheep

Of course I reject what Senator McKenzie is putting forward, and we have to note the hypocrisy of the National Party in making this last-ditch effort to defend an industry that declined significantly when the coalition was in office. In 2014-15, Australia exported 2.1 million sheep by sea at a value of $224 million. In 2021-22, 475,000 sheep were exported.
