• Component 1: ban live export and shut down Australia’s live export of livestock industry.
• Component 2: provide payments to farmers to assist in the transition from live animal exports to a domestic box and chilled meat trade.
  • This initiative would commit $5 million to go towards ensuring a just transition for workers affected by the ban on live exports, consisting in $1 million in 2028-29, and $2 million in both 2029-30 and 2030-31.
  • Departmental funding to administer the package would be met from within these caps.

The proposal would start on 1 July 2028.
