Yes, Paul, a little bit of green but no red.

There's a lot of talk about this - radio etc - and I will be contacting the new agriculture minister. I suggest everyone who is against live exports does the same thing.

Paul,

Not a speck of Green in me. You are making your usual assumption that you and the Greens, and only you and the Greens, have 'good' feelings. Come to think of it, I haven't seen di Nasty or anyone from the official Greens coming in on this.

I am just off to post a letter to federal agriculture minister, David Littleproud, at PO Box 6022, Parliament House, Canberra, 2600. He can also be contacted on Facebook and Twitter.

We should all be contacting politicians on matters that concern us. Just voting every three years to keep them doing the same thing they did the previous three years is not much help.

SR,
I did not say anything about other sheep, this is the way we dispose of our aged wool producing sheep. As there is virtually no market for mutton in Aus, all our wool producing sheep end up being exported either in cartons, on hooks or live on hoof. When overseas buyers cease to demand livestock the trade in live exports of sheep and other animals will cease. All you have to do is convince the consumers to buy sheep meat instead of live sheep. Piece of cake!

Until then, the consumers in other countries will obtain their requirements elsewhere if we stop live exports.

Banjo the only things SR understands are threats, insults and when that fails cry the victim. The mostly Arab countries taking live exports would totally ignore the SR's of this world.
It really annoys me when these do-gooders think they can lord it over people trying to make a living. Obviously not as much as some smarmy, posh little twat, virtue signalling politicians. As Keating famously shouted "get a job"!
