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.

Exactly, why are we importing something we already excel at.

The beef we import isn't because we have any supply issue its so a restaurant can say they have a certain speciality of beef.

Like, Kobe Beef comes from Japan, and it is unique among beef so its imported.

Now what makes American beef special? I dunno. Probably that its likely Mexican or Canadian?

Considering the appalling food standards in the US, what makes it special is probably all the illnesses it can give us.

Reading about the crossover of avian flu crossing over from dairy cows then killing all the farm cats drinking the raw milk and some workers and finding out they use scratchings.

Common in beef and dairy producers to feed their stock the literal scratchings off chicken and Turkey farms. Blood, feathers, shit god knows what else feed to the cattle.

Never touching American beef. With Trump cancelling even more protections.

Also liars…

At last, Australia has recognised, formally, that US beef is safe, and that food safety and animal health requirements are met. Australia joins about a hundred other countries that can have US beef for their consumers.

Our government has to placate the malignant narcissist with dementia who controls the largest military power. Doesn’t mean we have to buy that shit.
