Make a submission to protect the live sheep export ban

The NSW Parliament has established an inquiry into the phase-out of Australian live sheep exports by sea and they want to hear from you.

The Inquiry presents an important opportunity to ensure your NSW parliamentary representatives are reminded of the cruelty associated with the trade and to convey the community’s overwhelming support for the phase out.

Submissions close 20 September 2024.

Although legislation to end live sheep exports by sea has passed, those who oppose the ban are actively seeking ways to overturn this progressive step forward in animal welfare. It’s imperative that we continue to provide a voice of reason to ensure this does not happen.

To do this, we need your help. We need you to call on the NSW Parliament to rise above the rhetoric and fearmongering of the exporters and industry, to heed the science and to reflect the NSW community’s views.

We must maintain the pressure and keep up the scrutiny throughout the duration of the phase out until the very last vessel has sailed.
