        Ban Live Export!!! It is cruel brutal and corporations really don't give a damn. Ppl who run those sort of ships don't possess a conscience that's why they r in the business. Profits is all that matters. Cut down eating meat too!! You will be a lot better off.

        I wonder how tempting it was to use a comma instead of a colon.

        USING THE WORDS "NATIONAL DISGRACE". TO DESCRIBE WHAT'S BEEN GOEN ON WITH THE LIVE STOCK TRADE, IN IT SELF IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE. CONSIDERING WE THE PUBLIC, MEDIA & AS WELL AS ALL GOVERNMENTS PAST AND PRESENT HAVE KNOWN THAT THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON 4 FAR 2 LONG. PROVE ME WRONG

        maybe...but after their last response on the cattle industry, a bit of thought before playing to the animals rights lobby might be worthwhile

        Hang on, full story, #sheep were loaded, buy cancelled so ship had to divert, source more water, feed, overloaded for conditions which changed ... they made stuff ups but wasn't ALL their faults. Tell FULL story, not just #AnimalsAustralia version.

        Problem then lies in the terms of payment. Need a trade agreement where shipments are paid in advance or orders cannot be cancelled once a ship departs loading port.

        I would be more impressed if he was vocal against the inhuman treatment of asylum seekers by Australia, but he is mute on that topic because Labor supports the Government on that issue. Personally, I put people ahead of animals every time.
