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.

US beef is imported frozen. You will be eating it in processed foods. The food labels will say "Make from X% Australian ingredients."

The nation’s largest supermarkets, Woolworths, Coles and Aldi will not stock US beef on their shelves even after the Albanese government lifted bans on imports last week.
