Saudi sheep papers released
The 2007 cabinet papers
relating to the prohibition on the export of live sheep for
slaughter have been released by Labour.
Labour’s Export and Trade spokesperson David Parker says "It is now three weeks since the Prime Minister and Mr McCully claimed that former papers from the last Labour government proved that the $4 million facilitation payment to the Al Khalaf group, the $6 million model farm and the million dollar sheep flight were justified, and were to settle a claim for $20m to $30m by the Saudi group.
“Labour sought and
obtained the 2007 papers from the Cabinet office. The papers
show the original ban being extended because of concerns
about inhumane treatment after landing, using slaughter
methods not allowed in New Zealand.
