Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This Order imposes a six-month ban on exporting live cattle and sheep to Indonesia, pausing a major trade flow and directly affecting farmers, livestock exporters, and supply-chain businesses. Breeding stock exports are exempted.

It was the emergency legal response to 2011 footage of animal cruelty in Indonesian abattoirs — it halted the live-export trade overnight and triggered a severe shock to Australia’s northern cattle industry.
