Animals Australia has lost a Federal Court challenge to stop 50,000 sheep from being sent to the Middle East during the northern summer live export ban.
The group had filed an urgent application to overturn the Department of Agriculture’s approval, but on June 16, Justice Susan Kenny ruled the case should be dismissed.
