Australian Greens propose a bill to end live sheep export by sea by May 1, 2026, facing industry criticism.
Australian Greens introduce a bill to end live sheep export by sea by May 1, 2026, amidst criticism from the industry. The bill aims to legislate the end date for the phase-out of live sheep export by sea from Australian territory, in response to the government's lack of action on the issue. The Greens argue that the date would provide sufficient time for market adaptation and a reasonable phase-out, while the industry claims the proposed timeline is unrealistic and a "cheap political stunt" driven by animal activists.
