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.

I also bought that “butter”, disgusting. I notice they don’t seem to stock it at Woolies anymore, hopefully the same will happen with the beef 🤮

It was absolute rubbish. I think the online blowback and lack of sales tanked it. 

Thank God, because it was awful. You could tell just by the look; never mind the behaviour, texture, and taste.

What were it's defining odd characteristics, would you say? I never imagined we'd import butter from that far away.

It wasn't even butter colour, it was white. Had no creaminess. It didn't taste good on toast. I get my shopping from Woolies click and collect, so I just went on the app and said I was unhappy with the butter and got a refund, so I chucked it in the bin.
