2023 Diversity in Agriculture Leadership Program Applications

Dear Prime Minister and Attorney-General,

I am writing to you to request that the Government does not appeal the decision of the Federal Court in Brett Cattle Company Pty Ltd v Minister for Agriculture.
The verdict handed down by the Federal Court was a fair outcome for the communities and businesses who had their livelihoods destroyed by the live export shutdown.
I support the National Farmers’ Federation (NFF) in its call for Government to let the Court's ruling stand, and to right the wrongs of an illegal decision made in 2011.
A decision to appeal would send a clear message of contempt and disregard to farmers and rural communities across the country.
After almost a decade of pain and suffering, it is vital that businesses and families are compensated.
Please let the decision stand and accept that a just outcome has finally been reached.
