No ‘transition Advocate’ For Live Sheep Farmers More Than Six Months On

Leader of The Nationals David Littleproud front and centre at The Farmers Rally.

Labor has failed to find a live sheep ‘transi­tion advocate’ more than six months since it passed the Export Control Amendment (Ending Live Sheep Exports by Sea) Bill 2024.

Leader of The Nationals David Littleproud said despite the position having a $1.7 mil­lion commitment from Labor, not one single person in the entire country wanted it.

“It is Australia’s least wanted, highest pay­ing job, paying an enormous $1600 a day for up to 80 days. It is clear no one wants to be the transition advocate, because no farmer wants the phase out of live sheep exports to proceed.”
