Oliver Peterson: Australian correspondent on the Australian Government banning live sheep exports from mid-2028 - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The export of live sheep from Australia will be banned from May 2028 onwards.

The Government has promised a $117 million transition package to support the sector over the next five years.

Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says this will be disappointing news for farmers - who weren't properly consulted before the legislation was implemented.
