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

Jobless rate set to rise, testing the RBA's rates resolveThe RBA has drawn a line in the sand on the economy as it holds firm against cutting interest rates. Whether it gets swept away by a rising tide of unemployment and weak wages may be known as early as this week. What nonsense - Scott Morrison says the Economy is working wonderfully.

Unemployment climbs to 5.2pc, putting RBA under more pressure to cut ratesIt is certainly not the result the Reserve Bank was looking for, with unemployment edging up for the second consecutive month and the number of jobless Australians pushing past 700,000. the RBA can't do shit; they are redundant in terms of managing the economy; interest rate reductions are meaningless at these levels; the fact we're struggling at these levels says it all; credit cycle is dead - debt cycle at all time highs - prepare to dive!!! I'm now waiting for ScottMorrisonMP trying to spin this increase in unemployment by using his meaningless slogan: 'See look, more people are 'having a go'!'. If I were a betting man I would put money on it! auspol australiavotes2019
