Keep the Sheep truckie warns of sting in salmon tail

Keep the Sheep campaigners today warned Tasmanian salmon workers to beware of the ‘sting in the tail’ of the Albanese Government, when it came to defending the rights of ordinary Australian workers over inner city activist ideas.

West Australian truckie and small business owner, Ben Sutherland said the situation in Tasmania had obvious parallels with the experiences of the live export industry in Western Australia.

“Albanese and his Ministers are being led around by activists and not listening to people whose jobs are at stake,”

“They sold out the West Australian sheep industry to appease inner city voters and we’re already feeling the effects – the ban is slowing down business and it’s hurting our truckies, farmers, shearers and regional towns.”

Mr Sutherland warned salmon workers that they would need to fight for their livelihoods to avoid the same fate as West Australians.

“The Labor Government doesn’t care about ordinary Australians who work hard for a living. They are captured by ideology and will disregard Tassie salmon workers and their rural communities, just like they did to WA farmers,” he said.

The campaign said it would seek to reverse the ban on live exports and called for agricultural industries to stand together against overreaching activism and lawfare.

“It’s clear the only way we’ll save our agricultural industries is to change the Government. That’s why we’re saying to Tasmanian salmon workers: we’re with you.”
