The report  of the Senate enquiry was released today.

The report which was three months late in production after three extensions rejects the concept of closing the trade but rather suggests more work can be done in order to produce better animal welfare outcomes. To accomplish this greater resources are required and the report recommends that the Government together with industry review current resourcing arrangements.

The report also rejects the concept of a northern abattoir scenario.

While the report did not comment in detail on the accuracy of the four corners report as it did not believe this was constructive several submissions wee received detailing inaccuracies in the report
