The Animal Justice Party posted the following statement on their website following your announcement, Minister: 'We're proud that the Animal Justice Party could deliver the knockout blow by demanding the end of the live sheep export as a requirement for our preferences at the Dunkley by-election in March. Ongoing conversations behind the scenes between the Animal Justice Party and Labor leadership has helped fine tune government policy.' Minister, why did you sell out sheep farmers from WA for preferences in the east coast Melbourne by-election?
