Independent reports by Pegasus Economics found South Australian and West Australian abattoirs have capacity to slaughter all sheep exported from those states, and chilled sheep meat is worth 20 times more than live sheep exports. So you should be able to answer this question: is the government working on an assistance package for sheep farmers in these states, including worker training, to manage the transition from the live export trade to local processing? If not, why not?
