[the phantom menace]

Masterful tactic - give the Orange one a "win" on something that isn't hugely impactful, to secure better deals elsewhere (avoid Trump's rubbish treatments of other allies).

I prefer Aussie beef, and people will vote with their tastebuds. Allowing their beef to be an option isn't a big deal.

I am convinced that they will find ways to make (significant) inroads into our local supply chain.

When Maccas stop advertising use of 100% Aussie Beef (TM), then you know it's started.

What if we send our beef to the U.S. for processing then have it shipped back? We do it with a shitload of other products. Macadamias and seafood for instance.

what is everyone going on about I've been getting New York Sirloin from my butcher for years.

 

[Gronk]

We don't need to import their beef and nor should we.
Albanese has just sucked up big time to Trump and that's embarrassing.

I totally agree. America produces the most amount of beef in the world but at the cost of quality. I'm very concerned about how it gets marketed here. I wouldn't be surprised if quotas are involved in this garbage arrangement, either. Australia, the country that was once lucky, progressively sold out for a song.

So far we are the only country that does not face across-the-board tariffs. Trump was using beef as an excuse to apply tariffs on our $billion beef industry, steel and aluminium.

The concession does not compromise our biosecurity now that we have we have agreed to allow the USA to export their beef. WhilstTrump is saying that WE have capitulated to their demands, it is actually the other way around. We’ll let the tosser have that if he wants. Diplomacy.

The government says the US introduced more robust movement controls earlier this year, meaning cattle could be traced back through the supply chain to their original farms, allowing more certainty that products were not carrying disease or pests dangerous to Australia.

"The Albanese Labor government will never compromise on biosecurity," Agriculture Minister Julie Collins said.

"The US Beef Imports Review has undergone a rigorous science and risk-based assessment over the past decade.

"The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry is satisfied the strengthened control measures put in place by the US effectively manage biosecurity risks."

Cattle producer says Australia must be open to eating US beef

The federal government has lifted longstanding restrictions on beef imports from the US. This is what it means for Australia.

Previously, USA beef never hit retail stores and apparently only ever made it to some steak menus. Nobody expects that to change.

Every time I have had a steak in the US it is flavourless grain fed crap.

So you can taste a difference between grass and grain? I though it was nore health reasons to eat grass fed. My go to steak is rib eye off the bone done rare

It is ok to say Albo did get it wrong. Trump maybe a grub/sleaze/womeniser and uses/abuses his power to take advantage of people but he is a smart buisnesman. You'd have to be an idiot to think otherwise.

 

[hindy111]

No 1 - Rib eye on bone
No 2 - Scotch fillet
No 3 - Tomahawk
No 4 - Rump

No 5- Sirloin/ T bones

Then your chuck steaks and BBQ steaks.

High grade wagus are over rated I think. Too fatty and mushy for my liking. Ok in small doses. 150gms or less.

Sure, but I don't think he did. No leader is going to win everything against narcissist Trump, and we (Albo) is doing pretty nicely.

True, hence why giving Orange man a small win here for our greater good in other potential areas where Trump might want to mess with is pretty smart work by Albo.

Where was that at?
My experience of Texan food/cooking is that it is superior.
Did you get to a Cowboys game?
I got to a cowboys game and some high school football (which is unbelievable).

 

[T-Boon]

One thing I know for sure in NSW beef is way better than Qld beef.
Qld beef tastes inbred and like the cows are ugly.

It sounds like you enjoyed your buffalo.

NSW beef is too soft. QLD beef tastes like victory.

I've heard good things about that place from a mate who's been there a few times.

I'm a well-done man, so I can't tell what/where I'd prefer until I try it.
