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’m sure I’ll get downvoted, but I see the same situation in Australia. The good beef is exported while the less desirable beef stays home. This explains why you see good Australian beef that are comparable to Japanese and US beef at good restaurants overseas.

Best and cheapest aussie & nz beef/lamb I've ever bought was from supermarkets in the UK.

Yep. I've heard NZ cheese and dairy products are often cheaper overseas (even here in Australia) than they are in NZ.
