Government Senator's Additional Comments
1.1
The Government members of the committee note that during the previous
live export suspension to Egypt under the Howard Government, it took nearly
four years for the trade to be recommenced, leaving a lack of certainty in the
industry during this period.
1.2
The Government members of the committee note the swift manner in which
the Gillard Government worked to see the live export trade recommenced to
Indonesia, an important trading partner.
1.3
The Government members recommend that the committee commends the Gillard
Government for the assistance it provided to affected parties, as well as the
manner in which it worked with the industry to ensure the swift recommencement
of the trade.
Senator Glenn Sterle
Deputy Chair
