Phasing out the sheep trade - the Ocean Outback model

Is the Ocean Outback incident a model for phasing out  the sheep trade?
We just load the sheep on so that they can see the old draconian practice, and then unload them for onshore slaughter...so they can be grateful.
Not really efficient but does provide much more work for Australians, especially wharfies, truck drivers, feedlot staff and our own qualified meat processors. Finally some value adding...
