It would be impossible for any normal person not to be repulsed at what was shown last night. l had to turn away a couple of times, while l expected to see some pretty appalling cruelty this was just beyond disgusting. It left me feeling pretty shaken.

Pulling live exports and washing our hands of the problem seems like an easy 'fix' but l dont see what it achieves morally. Animals will continue to die in the most inhumane way imaginable. There is a culture chasm but our best chance of improving this appalling situation is to continue to educate and work with the Indonesians while trying to introduce some baseline standards and expectations to the industry from which the Industry can build from. That can only be done if Australia stays involved and doesn't wash its hands of such cruelty.
