"The Albanese government has today confirmed it will lift biosecurity
restrictions on beef imports from the United States. The timing of this
decision has raised some eyebrows.
Back in April, US President Donald Trump had singled out what he characterised
as an Australian “ban” on US beef as he announced 10% baseline tariffs on
imports from Australia.
Responding to today’s announcement, Nationals leader David Littleproud said it
appeared the restrictions have been “traded away to appease Donald Trump”.
But Trade Minister Don Farrell said there was “nothing suspicious about this”.
And some Australian industry groups have since expressed their confidence in
the decision.
So, has Australia’s beef industry been sold out for the benefit of a trade
deal? Or is it just a poorly timed announcement at the end of a review into
Australia’s restrictions?"
