‘No inherent cruelty’: What farmers think about the live export ban

This week, campaigners for animal rights won a years-long battle to ban the live export of sheep, with the practice to end by 2028 after it was passed in parliament. According to Animals Australia, three million animals have died in live export from Australia ... and that's not to mention what happens to them once they arrive at their destination.
On the flipside of that though is the farming communities who rely on the trade for their livelihoods.

In today's Briefing, we speak with John Hassell, a WA farmer and the Vice President of the National Farmers Federation to find out what's next for the industry and what farmers wish they could say to inner city folk who are against the practice.
