AFR reports that Kuwait has warned the Albanese government that its proposed ban on live sheep exports is effectively futile because the emirate will not buy any more chilled meat from Australia and will simply source livestock from other countries instead.

Follow the money! Do exporters benefit if live export stock are treated poorly? NO, they lose money, due to poor stock condition, higher mortality rates and risk of loss of social licence. Do workers on ships being paid for footage benefit if animals are treated poorly? YES...

The long term discount between WA trade lamb and East coast trade lamb is about 9%. Currently it’s more than 30% and the share of live export turnoff has reduced from 30% to nearly 10%. @AnimalsAus would have you believe that live export doesn’t underpin WA prices - seems legit.

@_HannahRitchie @OurWorldInData A simplistic assumption. I’d expect better from @OurWorldInData . Most feed livestock consume is not food that humans can digest and much of this is grown on land unsuitable for cropping. It’s not an either or argument. We can crop and raise livestock.
