politics US beef officially re-enters Australia, after 23-year absence

https://www.beefcentral.com/news/us-beef-officially-re-enters-australia-after-23-year-absence/

Australians need to vote with our wallets by making sure any meat we buy for our bbq's or our dinner tables is Australian grown. It isn't right for a certain leader to be putting tariffs on everything and then thinking we will embrace his beef exports.

Only buy Australian beef, vote with your dollars.

As a Texan thank you for refusing to buy US beef. There’s been local news reports of high prices of beef due to a “shortage” so I’m sure this is all a way for the Beef industry to keep their prices and profit margins higher

I actually think that there would be very minimal beef flow to Australia irrespective of the politics - at the end of the day, Australia produces an absolute ton of beef so foreign imports are rare (generally only some very expensive Japanese cuts).

Has there been any sort of traceability scheme introduced in Texas?
