Senator Hinch has been campaigning for 35 years to try to end live exports from Australia. In 1981 he took a petition with 30,000 signatures to Canberra, calling for such action, but it fell on deaf ears.

The recent 60 Minutes exposé, following on from 4 Corners some years ago, shows that this cruelty still goes on, despite what the industry spokesmen are trying to tell you.

We, the undersigned, call on the Federal Parliament to phase in a ban, over three years, on live exports of all animals from Australia and immediately ban market expansion, especially in Asia and the Middle East.
