ANALYSIS:
The Labour Government received plaudits this week for its historic announcement it will ban the live export of animals by sea. It s said to be a world first.
The decision comes after years of pressure, which increased after last year s tragedy when the ship Gulf Livestock 1 left New Zealand and sunk in a storm, killing nearly 6000 cows and 41 sea crew. Of course, there has also been opposition to the ban, and important questions raised over some of the details.
