00:00There is a campaign against the Federal Government at the moment, you may have heard of,

00:03it's called Keep the Sheep. It's actually quite paradoxical in its name because this is a

00:11campaign, members, being run by those that wish to continue with the live export trade that will be

00:19phased out. The Parliament of Australia has passed legislation to phase that trade out by 2028.

00:26Now, this Keep the Sheep campaign is an anti-government campaign that turned up well

00:32after the event and has been probably most known to most of you by these rather awkward videos

00:42posted on Facebook by these people going, keep the sheep. It's quite embarrassing, to be honest,

00:48some of the way that this campaign has been run. But as I say, it's a paradox because this is a

00:53group of people who don't at all actually want to keep the sheep in Australia. This

00:57is a group of people that want to export live animals across the world.
