Australia should export sheep in a ‘sustainable way’: National Farmers Federation | Sky News AustraliaNational Farmers' Federation CEO Tony Mahar says the farming industry fears Labor’s commitment to phase out live sheep exports could trickle over to other animals, calling instead to maintain the trade ‘in a sustainable way’.\n\nMr Mahar has told Sky News that exporting sheep is a ‘viable trade’, but Australia should ‘commit to better regulation and reduction in animal welfare incidents.’\n\nMr Mahar’s remarks come after the non-profit organisation established an election-priority platform, which includes responses, from Labor, the Liberals and the Greens, to a range of farmer-focused priorities. \n\n\n\n\n There IS no sustainable way to maintain this vile trade. Time and time again we see footage of just how cruel live export is. It must go. It's what the majority of Australians have been calling for. This really is an idea whose time has come. BanLiveExport Vote1AJP nothing to fear we will impeach Labor if they win. Farmer fight back against those lefty loser Maybe Mahar would like to live export himself
