Did you really think that producers couldn't fact check your claims of export market preferences directly with those countries
@MurrayWatt ?
They're better at research and producing factual evidence than all your squads of burecrats.

"The industry is in decline" they said. "It won't matter if it's cancelled" they said. Interesting counter data on these ridiculous arguments from @meatlivestock via @Aussie_FDJ (https://t.co/6Hz88QwCYV):
@HallRaelene Great insight Raelene. Travelled through regional Pakistan in 2021. Very little refrigeration. The amount of people in our country with limited understanding of other cultures let alone other Australians outside their Facebook friendship group is frightening.
@Simmental_1@TimMontague77 ๐ฏagree Carrie what gives us the right as a lucky country to tell other nations & different cultureโs, how to live & what to eat, we cannot deny the rights of other cultureโs to eat protein they way they want it. I call it racism & people who deny others of protein as racists.
@TimMontague77 100% agree. Cultural imperialists and racists who have no respect for cultures and their religious festivals, and want to tell others how to live and what to eat.

@MinnieBanniste3 @livestock_the Cut it out. There are other information streams available if you are interested in facts, instead of marching on to the beat of zealot rhetoric & vitriol.

@Josh4Freo As a producer, having just built Australia's newest export abattoir, I'm a strong supporter of live ex. Why, because they increase competition, which creates stronger markets & more resilient farms. I note you state "major" processors, is that because you oppose competition?
Exceptional job being done at Muresk by farming representatives - some absolutely insulting qns being thrown at them, from some with no idea at all - being met as they should be, with frank honesty! @WAFarmers#keepthesheep
The real sheep live export trade: Footage from recent Middle East voyages.
Industry improvements: lower mortality rates, better ventilation, more space. Tech upgrades like automated temp loggers & welfare measures on every voyage. Major investment in research & training. ๐๐ฑ
