Agricultural Secretary Darren West dismisses "Keep The Sheep" campaign as a farce, despite its support and funding.

Darren West, Western Australia's Agricultural and Parliamentary Secretary, dismissed the "Keep The Sheep" campaign as exaggerated and labeled it a "farce." Despite acknowledging concerns from farmers, he argued that the transition from live sheep exports by sea, mandated to end by 2028, would be manageable. The campaign, launched on May 29, has garnered over 100,000 signatures and raised significant funds, but West criticized its motives as anti-government.
