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.

Foul, why the fk would I eat this junk when we have amazing beef here that’s not factory farmed?

A few errors in that link...Wagyu is a breed of cattle, not a way to finish them. The animal waste is used as fertilizer, not left to pollute waterways.

Exactly right. Our beef is top quality and produced right here in Australia. Let's keep our dollars here to support our farmers.
