Senator Lee Rhiannon’s interrogation of Wal Merriman, Chair of industry body Australian Wool Innovation Ltd in today’s Senate Estimates hearings has confirmed that the past and present Directors of AWI financially benefit from AWI’s support for the continued practice of mulesing.

“Former and current Directors of AWI Chick Olsson and Dr Meredith Sheil were confirmed as having financial interest as inventors of the drug Tri-Sulfen, the anaesthetic used on mulesed sheep. They are also owners of the company that developed the drug,” Senator Rhiannon said.
