Re: QR short of cattle wagons

["John McCandless" <johnmc@topend.com.au>]

I heard an interesting segment on the ABC local radio - must have been a
couple of months ago, I suspect David may be able to find the exact segment
:-) - with a rep from the RSPCA, who slammed QR for transporting cattle by
rail, and said that 'they' had stopped cattle being transported by rail in
other states.  QR was unable to send a rep, but I think our RSPCA friend
would be just a tad presumptious in thinking that they had anything at all
to do with the cessation of cattle transport in other states?
