WA facing the lowest wool production since the 1920's. Industry warned of this as a consequence of the Government's ban. There is still time to repeal the legislation.

Australia’s sheep industry is facing a mass exodus, with wool production at its lowest in a century as farmers increasingly turn away from the shearing shed and to the slaughterhouse in the face of rising costs and low prices: https://t.co/exzvD84iJm

Alan's not even from Albany or a farmer (or a footy fan!) but he supports @keepthesheepWA because he knows how important the industry is to the local economy. Listen to him talk about the #keepthesheep oval comp here: 🎧 https://t.co/xcb93K9Lxg

This is why government must guarantee that they will listen to industry over and above activists. Activists again prove that they will peddle misinformation and outright lie to push their agendas 👀👇

"Never before in human history have so many people relied on so few for their food"
"0.5% of the Australian population provides the food for the other 99.5%"

Think about that for a second.

We listen, not tell our fellow farmer what to do. Onya @SteveMc19695 !

[Liz Jackson 💕🐑🐂🐄🐖 @AgribizLiz]

Today's Advocate read: "Angry farmers have told a parliamentary inquiry into the banning of live sheep exports..." I was at this meeting and I did not see any angry farmers. I saw the rural community standing their ground in a dignified, professional manner. So good💪

Ag bodies making a difference 💪🏼👏🏼

[WoolProducers Aust. @WoolProducers]

To end a pretty ordinary budget night on a positive note - a HUGE thank you to @DavidPocock, @SenatorSurfer & the Greens and Senator Jacqui Lambie for backing farmers and not supporting the Biosecurity Protection Levy in the Senate https://t.co/KDBCKIf23u

[Cam Dimsey @CamDimsey]

In March last year, 25 agriculture peak bodies wrote to @MurrayWatt and told him this was a “red line that can't be crossed”.

He is now going to learn for every action there is a reaction, and an agricultural reaction is going to be quite a thing.
