An Australian MP remains committed to ending long-haul live sheep exports, even though she and another Liberal have been forced to shelve a private member’s bill.
It would have also ended live sheep exports to the Middle East during next year’s northern hemisphere summer.
However, Liberal party rules stop ministers from voting against government policy, meaning both can no longer support the legislation.
The MP, who was sworn in as an Assistant Minister earlier this week, says it remains a strong personal conviction to stop the trade.
