52% think that Australia should only export live sheep and cattle to countries which guarantee they will be treated humanely and 25% think Australia should not export live sheep and cattle to any country at all. This is little changed since this question was asked 12 months ago.
Those most opposed to exporting live sheep and cattle to any country at all were Greens voters (35%), women (30%) and respondents on incomes under $600 pw (36%).
