Obviously 4 Corners and PETA are now running our international trade as the Government leap in to kill the live cattle export business in response to a TV show. Several hundred million dollars at risk of being lost to the industry but Senator Ludwig said he was confident the industry would bounce back before the end of the six-month ban. Based on what? I’m all for treating animals humanely but I don’t think our cattlemen should be fined 300 million dollars because people in another country don’t stun the cattle before slaughter. Given the chance, maybe we could’ve offered advice to the Indon companies and pushed to lift their standards within a certain time frame but the Government have jumped so quickly with their six month ban that everyone, Indons, cattlemen and our economy, are losers. In my humle opinion the ALP are simply buying votes from radical Greenies that would never vote Coalition anyway. To all those guys and their families about to loose their livelihood, be happy that it is being done for a good cause – re-election of the ALP.
