Australia has rejected a request for the re-export of sheep and cattle on the Bahijah, citing concerns over the health and welfare of the animals that have been in limbo a month after they initially went to sea.
The agriculture department was unsatisfied with the transport arrangements for the livestock to their final overseas destination, or that the requirements of the Export Control Act will be complied with before they are imported, it said in a statement late Monday.
