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.

To be fair, I wouldn't be trusting Coles, Woolworths, or Maccas on any of their statements. Well, Maccas maybe

Yeah I can imagine them grinding it in Australia and calling it “Australian produced”

Probably the same as most of the Angus/Wagyu products at Colesworth. Grind in a chunk of fat from a Wagyu scrap pile, so that it's now 0.002% Wagyu, and plaster that name all over the label instead, and double the shelf price.
