    This masthead reported last week that Australian officials believe biosecurity rules could be tweaked to allow US beef into Australia, a key demand of the Trump administration, without compromising safety.

    I will literally never knowingly buy US beef as long as I live. I’d prefer to eat tofu.

      What about those times of the year when local beef is out of season?

      Tofu is pretty good when prepared well. Very low chance of contracting some fucked disease too.

      Neither will I, but honestly if I remember I don’t think the biosecurity rules around imported beef here are that important (that isn’t to say biosecurity itself isn’t important). Neither are exports to America though. TBH these trade talks don’t seem to matter at all.

    “After three long years, it seems the government has finally discovered their productivity disaster. If this change of heart by Labor is true, it will be akin to turning around the Titanic.”

      Funnily enough, I kinda agree with that comment. The difference being that he wants them to move in ways that will make the country worse, just like his party constantly tries to. I’m hoping they might embrace their mandate to do something bold and progressive instead of the milquetoast liberalism they’ve done in the past.

        productivity isn’t amazing but as far as I’m aware it’s not like it was great under the liberal party either? feels a bit hypocritical to me
