I was left a little baffled by the decision of @MurrayWatt. Let’s make an impact and put our energy towards something of value. Sign the petition & overturn the live export ban that has sheep & farming families lives in jeopardy not knowing the future chng.it/MGkqJ5VwtH

Someone had shared a photo of a single tyne ripper mounted onto a reefinator on here about a week ago. Wondering if anyone remembers who that was?

Labor has vowed to phase out live SHEEP exports if elected, but says it will support live CATTLE exports because “it’s different”... @ABCRural asked Labor to provide some dot point on how the two are different & got this response 🐂🐑
