This is the best summary I could come up with:
The federal government's laws to ban Australia's live sheep trade have passed parliament, despite last-minute attempts by opponents to postpone the bill's passage.
It has also sparked widespread protests from those concerned about the impact the laws could have on farming communities across Western Australia, which is the only Australian state or territory to continue to export live sheep by sea.
Earlier on Monday, Mr Littleproud asked parliament to delay the passage of the legislation, in favour of a Senate inquiry and further discussion.
The Keep the Sheep delegation met with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday afternoon in a last-ditch effort to sway the government.
She said the group would mobilise in coming weeks to campaign against Federal Labor MPs in marginal seats like Tangney, Hasluck, Swan, Pearce and Cowan.
"We will target every marginal seat across the country that is Labor held if they don't listen to us," WA Farmers president John Hassell told reporters before the vote.
