End the uncertainty for Top End cattle families

End the uncertainty for farming families

The Federal Government is set to decide whether it will appeal a court decision which gave closure to Top End communities crippled by the 2011 live export shutdown.

Help us tell the Government to end the years of pain and uncertainty.

We’re calling on the Government not to stand in the way of fairness and justice for victims of the live export shutdown.

The 2011 decision to shut down Australia’s live cattle exports overnight caused catastrophic damage which is still being felt to this day.

Hundreds of cattle producing families, as well as the thousands of people employed across the industry had their livelihoods decimated with the stroke of a pen.

After almost a decade in court, the Federal Court has now found that the decision to suspend the trade wasn’t just careless or immoral… it was illegal.

The court agrees that the victims of this wrongdoing should be compensated, and the decision should stand as a warning to governments who ignore the people they’re meant to represent.

Rather than put this matter to bed after so many years, the Morrison Government is actively considering an appeal.

An appeal would be a slap in the face for hundreds of Top End families who have waited nearly a decade for justice.

We’re calling on the Morrison Government to let this decision lie, and give these families the closure they deserve.

Help us stand up for justice by sending an e-mail to the Prime Minister and Attorney-General.

I support a fair go for Aussie farmers

Dear SpeakOut! user

I stand with the farming communities from across Australia who are coming together in Canberra for the National Ag Rally.

Decisions that impact farmers should take into account their views and lived experience, as well as the best available science and evidence. They should not be dictated by noisy interest groups who want to diminish Australian food and fibre production.

Australia's world class farm sector is leading the way on innovation & sustainability, creating meaningful jobs, and providing high quality products the world desperately needs.

Please listen to the needs of our sector and support a thriving future for Australian farming communities.
