My name is Shane, known as Arg. I have been a shearer for 26 years. Sheep shearing isn’t just my profession, it’s my passion. I have been able to provide a good life for myself and my family. Without sheep shearing, I don’t think I would be living my best life. 🐑 #KeeptheSheep

ALBO'S SHEEP IS NEARLY SHORN . 40,000 signatures on our petition in just 6 days, can we beat 43,000 tonight? . That's the number cited in legislation as an excuse for them to ban sheep exports. #keepthesheep

It’s an everyday task to throw the wool, but it’s not everyday you have a young shearer show the media how it’s done. To help her continue in her career, we need to Keep the Sheep #KeeptheSheep

🐑✂️ Stand with our Shearers!. Australia once “rode on the sheep’s back”—our rural communities & the Labor Party itself were built on the strength of our shearers. Albanese’s ban on live sheep exports threatens to dismantle jobs & the backbone of rural Australia. #keepthesheep

Roger Cook is being roasted by the media for trying to change the date to avoid the inevitable Albo backlash. Both State and Federal Labor have abandoned WA farmers and rural families. It won't matter which election is first, we will be putting them LAST. #keepthesheep

The Labor Government thinks throwing more taxpayer money at us will make us back down on their senseless live sheep export ban. But here’s the truth: there is NO AMOUNT OF MONEY that can make up for the damage they've done to our rural communities. 🔗
