This is an important question for agriculture. You should listen up. It shows a record 1.2 million live cattle were exported from Australia in 2014 valued at $1.23 billion. With forecasts from the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resource Economics suggesting our live export trade is set to reach at least one million head of cattle in 2015, can the minister outline how a strong live export trade is assisting Australian graziers to recover from recent drought conditions?
