BROCKMAN () (): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Today, we saw thousands of farmers and truckies rallying outside Parliament House, many of whom have travelled up to thousands of kilometres from Western Australia to stand up for their livelihoods, their communities and their families after the appalling decision of the Albanese government to abolish live sheep exports. Minister, why was the Prime Minister too gutless to face these farmers outside Parliament House and explain why he has legislated to destroy their livelihoods and a successful Australian export industry?
