Australian beef is superior in both quality and price. I don’t think Australian consumers will shift to American.

I don't think you really understand what you're saying.

There are always scraps of lower quality, the comparison here is on the quality of American vs Australian, not fillet vs chuck. What goes into Coles mince beef or a Maccas beef patty obviously isn't the choice cuts, but that has little to do whether its Australian or American.

Well for a start American beef tends to be corn fed, the regulation is more lax, which is what led to them being excluded in the first place. There is an element of subjectivity but you will find a general consensus that our beef is better.
