Thanks to decades of work from intrepid investigators and dedicated campaigners, the government finally set a date to end the live export of sheep by sea, May 1, 2028. Now that Labor has won their second term, they must move forward with this election promise. The end is in sight, but there’s no excuse for the government to allow the victims of this cruel trade to continue to suffer in these horrific conditions for 3 more years.
While we wait, countless more animals will die. We need to call on the prime minister to end live export immediately – not only for sheep but for all animals.

An October 2023 PETA exposé showed that animals imported from Australia are still being butchered alive by workers in Indonesia, even though the Australian government insisted that the gruesome practice had been stopped. Despite a government assurance scheme, cruelty is systemic in the industry because there are no meaningful consequences for non-compliance.
Not only is it cruel to force hundreds of animals to board huge ships, where they’ll be tossed about on rough seas amid litres of their own excrement before being slaughtered in ways that would be illegal in Australia, live export also exacerbates the risk of yet another zoonotic pandemic. These “floating petri dishes” take the risk of disease posed by factory farming on a world tour. Speaking on Australian national television, the late epidemiologist Mary-Louise McLaws said that live-animal export “can’t be safe” and warned of a “ghastly disease” outbreak.
The live-export trade is also one of the top 40 carbon dioxide emitters in Australia. Cattle and sheep are often transported thousands of kilometres by truck before reaching the ships, while the empty vessels journeying back to Australia to collect their next load of helpless animals create further emissions. In addition, raising cattle and sheep generates large amounts of greenhouse gases. And there’s an ocean of pollution: more than 100,000 litres of urine and faeces accumulate on a typical live export ship every single day. Dead animals are simply tossed overboard while the ship is underway.
