Western Australia

West Australian Premier Mark McGowan says he is willing to use state law to block livestock export ships on animal welfare grounds. The move comes as MV "Awassi Express" is detained in Fremantle undergoing ventilation upgrades mandated by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority after video emerged of 2,400 sheep dying on board during a voyage last August. MV "Maysora" left the port last week despite inspectors reporting water troughs that were empty or filled with faeces.
