The Federal Court has ruled the Gillard government's move to ban live exports in Northern Australia in 2011 was invalid. The court labelled the move "unreasonable", opening up the potential for significant compensation for the Northern Territory's Cattlemen's Association. Mr Menicaros told Sky News host Chris Kenny the decision is “validation and a vindication of their opposition” to the original decision.
Justice Steven Rares found the then agriculture minister Joe Ludwig's decision to place an outright ban on live cattle exports on June 7, 2011, was both invalid and reckless. “They didn’t follow due process,” Mr Menicaros said of the government’s snap decision to ban the export only days after the ABC’s Four Corners aired a feature on Australia’s live export trade with Indonesia.
