Industry hides behind bogus live export standards

Australia’s much touted live export standards are nothing to be proud of and cannot be effectively enforced under current arrangements, according to a new report by RSPCA Australia.

RSPCA Australia has released a critique of an industry report comparing the Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock to overseas standards. The analysis exposes the report as failing to identify several serious flaws in the Standards and offering no support for industry assertions of best practice.
