– Massive Australian Truck Convoy Protests Live Sheep Export Ban:
Authored by Monica O’Shea via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
A huge truck convoy has descended on Western Australian (WA) roads to protest the Labor government’s ban on live sheep exports.
More than 1,350 trucks registered to participate in the rally in Perth to send a message to the government about the proposed ban.
Large trucks with signs “keep the sheep” and “stand with our farmers” were seen on Perth highways on May 31, while onlookers displayed a banner with the words “we love farmers.”
This comes after the Labor Party introduced legislation to parliament on May 30 that will stop live sheep from being exported from Australia by sea from May 1, 2028.
The Export Control Amendment (Ending Live Sheep Exports by Sea) Bill 2024 (pdf) amends the Export Control Act 2020 and will delegate sheep to the “permanently prohibited exports” list.
