We take a deep dive into live export with Annabelle Coppin. Annabelle has seen it all, having been awarded a Nuffield Scholar to conduct her research on the trade and participate in a diverse range of tours across the globe. Annabelle talks candidly about the 2011 cattle live export crisis, shines a light on Australian privileges and highlights why the live export trade exists with a particular focus on people and markets.
Annabelle says, "That's the beauty of being an Australian; we have the choice and position to have such opinions. But I can't help but assume the priorities of society change with the comfort of a full stomach and a wet throat. My experience of 16 countries, more than 100 flights and 12 months of diverse travel has given me the opportunity to build a very solid foundation of knowledge."
