MP persists with push to end live exports

Andrew Wilkie on Monday introduced a private bill to permanently ban animals from being sent abroad for slaughter from 2020 and, in the meantime, ensure live animals are treated humanely after they exported.
"How on earth can any civilised decent country allow this barbaric behaviour to continue?" he told MPs.
