I 'm glad our beef has been banned in the U.S. (it will be banned here one day too, for most of us at least.)

Can't you just say laughed. Lolled isn't any easier to type and isn't a real word

lolled has one less character

Hopefully that will offset the recent predicted price rise of beef. It may even fall.
A nice quality juicy steak at a fair price. Who doesn't want that? Vegans, that's who.

beef prices wont be going down any time soon

An estimated 664,000 livestock died in the 2019 disaster and the damage bill was estimated at nearly $2 billion. Prior to the flood, drought conditions had depressed prices, but over the course of the next year figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show average beef retail prices rose more than 10 per cent.

Meat price set to rise after devastating stock losses

As farmers face months without income, consumers are being warned meat will cost more as the loss of livestock and infrastructure takes its toll.

What was our bumbling opposition leader up to yesterday? Trying to look tolerant while visiting an outer Melbourne electorate...

Wakey, wakey: Dutton looks shaky as his aptitude is put to the ultimate test

This is the opposition leader’s first federal election campaign, possibly the first time in his political life that he will face sustained national scrutiny for weeks.

Re: his visit to Headspace yesterday. Headspace provide mental health support to kids and it includes a significant cohort of queer kids. But bonehead just couldn't be seen lending a sympathetic ear to them ...

Last year he was full of outrage on 2GB.



Four months later ...

I was going off the unsourced falsehood posted earlier in this thread that the U.S. had BANNED Aussie beef.
Source:

Trump just banned AU beef. He lied and said that AU bans the importation of US beef.

The truth is that we have quarantine rules surrounding foot n mouth and mad cow.

This will blow up in a few minutes.

f**k you orange guy.

Turns out they have imposed a 10% tariff and I doubt that the Aussie beef consumers in America would care less about a 10% increase, especially if it's still as cheap over there as I have seen on some American based bbq channels on youtube, so your probably right.

Seafood and lamb prices have come down over the last few years so I'll remain hopeful.

Dopey Dutton can't even count the number of Canberra public servants... does he have any policies that aren't just a try-hard Trump wannabe?

Labor says Dutton’s public service cuts are from the ‘DOGE’ handbook. Here’s where jobs could go

Just 7000 new public service jobs have been created in Canberra under Labor, forcing the Coalition to cut 34,000 jobs from the rest of Australia or gut the capital.

he struggled counting votes in the Liberal party caucus as well

 

[hindy111]

f**k. Sounds like Dutton is terrible based on these media reports.
It's a shame that all the negative reports on Albo are fiction and we cant beleive them. Just fabricated stories to make him look bad.

Lucky their reports on Dutton are true.

AND f**k TRUMP

 

[Gary Gutful]

AND f**k TRUMP

With a big slab of Aussie beef.

With a big slab of Aussie beef.

Beef sausage of course with added gluten.

 

[hindy111]

Albo's had his first fall. This isn't good. It seems he has a similar medical condition as Biden.
Let's hope they do a full medical. He may not be fit for the job unfortunately

 

[the phantom menace]

A fall-prone Albo is still way fitter for the job than a... dumbarse Dutton.

And probably the next six-in-line Labor leaders would be better than anything the LNP could offer up from their MPs as an alternative. Kind of like how our current Eels spine is no chance of competing with any other clubs' spines at the moment...

Looks like Elon is going to be (softly) fired soon.

Musk’s time at White House and DOGE ‘will end’ soon, Trump hints

The US president has been suggesting changes are coming, now his lieutenant’s big unsuccessful gamble in Wisconsin on Wednesday has set tongues wagging.

The failed apprentice can then f**k off back to obscurity and corporate takeover land, with his damaged and dwindling personal reputation.

So Dumb and Dumber is just going to be Dumber soon.

You are forgetting that the word 'banned' derives from the Old English and Norse word 'bannyde', which means 'imposed a 10% tariff upon your hooved beasts'.

He went on radio this arvo, adamantly denying he fell .... I think he might be senile too .... its sleepy joe all over again

Do tell! FMD JFC. I'm such a dumb merkin. Sorry Gronk. Please accept my humble and unreserved apologies. I should have known this would not pass the pub test.
