I don't know why we send the sheepies to the ME where they get killed unhumanly because that's what some ancient cult still living n the past thinks is what needs to be done . Why should our Christian based country support these out of date beliefs. We live in a modern society.
Fair enough though you can't just ban it straight up .
From memory Primo small goods in Sydney had the gov pay for $50 Mil worth of new processing factory because of the games a while back . Only way to get mutton processed here is to do a similar thing as all the regulations for processing plant kill the profits or viableness of such an industry .
There's one in shark lake I think but they've got very expensive . We use to sell their product but don't anymore.
Butchers pay well over $7/kg for Lamb these days, when I started my trade in early 90's they were $1.50/kg. Someone's been doing some winning and it's not butchers.

I think the issue is the sheep are dying en route to the Middle East, in horrific circumstances.
How they get killed if they survive the trip is a problem, but it's the least of it.
Mistreatment of cattle in Indonesia is also a problem.
We have to take back control and not be sheep, ourselves. IMO.
(my background is grew up on a wheat and sheep farm).
