COALITION to fight the government on appointment of an Inspector-General for Animal Welfare & Live Exports #banliveexport LIVE exports are shaping up as a significant election issue, with the Opposition announcing it will fight government plans to appoint an inspector-general for animal welfare and live exports. The new position of overseer to the live export trade was announced by the government a few weeks ago, generating a mixed response from industry and the public. Sheepmeat Council of Australia CEO Ron Cullen said his organisation questioned Agricultural Minister Joel Fitzgibbon’s announcement and warned it could just add another layer of bureaucracy around animal welfare. “It’s hard to see any justification in establishing the inspector-general for animal welfare and live animal exports,” he said. farmingahead.au/articles/1/8887/2013-08-16/news/libs-promise-live-exports-platform-stoush
