Voices of Live Sheep Export Political Engagement Support and Resources
The Federal Governments panel on the phasing out of the live sheep export by sea trade has called for submissions from those impacted.
It is important that your voice is heard otherwise all the government will hear is why the trade should be closed.
Farmers, Transporters, Stockies, Shearers, everyone who works within the industry supply chain this is your chance to make your voice heard on why the trade is important to your business, family and community.
The webinar presentation recording is available below.
Submissions have now closed so we are encouraging you to write to your local, state and federal politicians a template and contact details are below.

You may also consider including references to loss of community services, mental health, risk of less sheep numbers in the State and the economic impact, the flow on effect to your community if there was to be a future without live sheep export by sea.

If you are writing to your own Member of Parliament, mention that you live in their electorate early in the letter and please use language that is clear and respectful, this is about the independent consultation process not the person you are writing to.
