Slaughtering Indonesia's cattle trust : Comments

By David Leyonhjelm, published 23/8/2011

Australia’s export ban offended our neighbour and threatened its food supply. It will now be seeking to diversify its sources.

Indonesia is in need of imported cattle to feed its large population they may not be cattle from nearby Australia. Their abettors will continue their cruel practices of conscious slaughter. The Government ban on live exports only damages Australia. All that has happened will be the northern Australian meat producers and exporters will not have a market or an income.

Yeah that's anybody who disagrees with is a dirty red, pathetic.
The live meat trade will be phased out and it should be. How the Indonesian kill their meat is a matter for them in the end. Whether we Australians are willing to supply them is a matter for Australians to decide.
I think transporting animals a long distance to be slaughter is not only cruel it's stupid. I guess that must mean I have a poster of Stalin in my office.
The political reality is the red necks in the NT are never even going to change their vote. So Labour will ignore them and the liberals will take them for granted. Either way their views are basically irrelevant.

the other point to make here is the cattle price has barely moved, throught this whole issue. so from a market point of view it barely registered.

cornonacob,
The Australian market price has not changed because Australians do not consume beef from the top end because it is expensive to ship to southern abittors. Much of the live export is not suitable to the Australian consumer. Properties above the tropic of Capricorn is in the sights of Indonesia to become under Indonesian rule.

cornonacob, every member/supporter of the RED/green, getup, GAYLP/alp, Socialist Alliance is a closet communist. this is a well documented scientifically proven fact.

if you must know i would prefer to see "live export" replaced with export of boxed meat, but i would never shut it down immediately because a tiny minority of radical, ANTI capitalist, extremists want to.

Persons like cornonacob are really not concerned for the welfare of animals, as evidenced by his post. " How the Indonesian kill their meat is a matter for them in the end. Whether we Australians are willing to supply them is a matter for Australians to decide".

He just wishes to damage Australias export income and reputation. Typical closet communist.
