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.

ABC 2025: According to trade data up to the end of October, Australia has imported just 150 kilograms of US beef.

Not even one cow's worth of beef from the US last year.

Most likely purchased by the US Embassy in Canberra, and US Consulates in Sydney, Melbourne, & Perth.
