I would think that Australia would be required to take them back, since that is where they came from?

Am I missing something?
No. I think that until the sheep are delivered, the company that's selling them is accountable (which I believe is an industry co-operative).

Popcornbird, yes, Australia exports live cattle and sheep to many countries, however, trade to Saudi Arabia was halted a few years ago because Saudi Arabia started rejecting shiploads of sheep (same issue as now).
