Littleproud calls out net zero focus STAFF WRITERS   THE federal Leader of the Nationals, David Littleproud, has shown caution on the federal government’s decision to allow US beef imports without biosecurity checks and also on the future of net zero carbon emissions policy. In an interview on the ABC, Mr Littleproud said he wanted to see the science on the US beef decision. “It should be predicated on science,” he said. “I’m suspicious by the speed in which this has been done, but we need to give confidence to the industry. This is not just about animal welfare. This is about human welfare. This is about potentially coming into this country and having a human impact. “I think it’s important that the government’s very transparent about the science and I don’t think it’s even beyond the question to have an independent panel review that science, to give confidence to everybody about how that science was predicated. “But the protocols that have been put in place is important too. So there was a review undertaken in 2024. It said that every animal must have a pre-and post-slaughter check by a vet. We haven’t seen what those protocols are.” Mr Littleproud said the fact that government had not been transparent was adding to some concern within the industry and more broadly in the community that “we should be worried about if they haven’t done the right thing”. “It should be predicated on science. So I think once we see the protocols, there may be a necessity for an independent panel to review what the department has come to in light of the fact that this has happened at such speed and to give confidence and, you know, I think that’s what the Australian public should have in their minds is that confidence of what’s coming in. Just having said that, understand there’s not a lot of US Beef comes into this country,” he said. “Australian consumers decide that. And they should. And they should look for Australian beef. But in essence you won’t see and you don’t see a lot of US beef. “But we need to be able to provide the certainty around human health. Australian families need to know that they can go to the supermarket and if they do pick up a US piece of beef that they know with confidence that all the protocols have been put in place.” Questioned about the push by Nationals backbenchers, Michael McCormack and Barnaby Joyce to scrap net zero, Mr Littleproud said he has “real concerns about it, to be candid”. “I believe in climate change and I think we have a responsibility to try and reduce emissions. But unfortunately, what net zero has become is about trying to achieve the impossible rather than doing what’s sensible. That’s why we left the Coalition, because we wanted to make sure nuclear energy was part of a technology agnostic approach to reducing emissions as part of our energy grid,” he said. “But you’ve got to understand we’re not climate deniers because we’re only upset about the fact that we’re tearing up our landscape and we’re getting all these wind factories that are huge, in terms of hectares and taking up prime agricultural land, tearing up native environment. “And yet when Zali Steggall gets upset about six wind turbines in North Head, she’s not labelled a climate denier.” Mr Littleproud said in communities, “I’ve seen families torn apart in my electorate and others, we’ve got to be sensible about this”. “We’ve got to understand we have responsibilities and we’ve got to understand the difference between mitigation and adaptation. And we need other parts of the world to actually do more heavy lifting, like China and India,” he said. “And when you see BRICS countries now saying they’re going to take more fossil fuels, you see the EU now saying they’re going to get a carve out, they’re looking to exempt their heavy industries from, like cement and aluminium from carbon reduction. You’ve got to say the world is shifting. “But I’m saying let’s be sensible. We’re going through a sensible process. We’ll be calm, methodical. But I believe we need to do this in a way that doesn’t hurt Australia and hurt regional Australians.”

‘Make agriculture great again’: Trump administration claims win on Australian beef The government insists the move to allow US beef into Australia is the result of a biosecurity review rather than trade talks, but the Trump administration undercut that on Thursday.

Trump attacked Australian beef, but industry looks like tariff winner CANBERRA (Reuters) - On the day Donald Trump announced tariffs on imports from a dizzying number of countries last week, the U.S. president gave a special mention to Australian beef. "They won’t take any of our beef," he said of Australia, which has banned U.S. beef due to mad cow disease concerns for over two decades. "I don’t blame them. But we’re doing the same thing right now, starting at midnight tonight." But Australia’s beef industry is feeling relieved, as Trump’s 10% tariff on the country’s products is not enough to shrink beef exports to the United States running at record levels averaging $275 million a month in the six months to February, industry insiders said. Meanwhile, tit-for-tat tariffs imposed by China, along with Beijing deciding not to renew the local registration of hundreds of U.S. meat facilities, threaten U.S. beef exports to China worth around $125 million a month, giving Australia and others such as Brazil, Argentina and New Zealand an opportunity to increase their shipments. "I’m not too stressed by 10%," said Andrew McDonald, whose Bindaree Food Group runs meat processing facilities in Australia and ships beef to the United States. He said the tariff announcement had revived interest in Australian beef from U.S. buyers who had paused orders for weeks while waiting to see what Trump’s tariff action would look like, and that demand for Australian beef into China was rising. "It’s a good outcome for Australia," he said. QUARTER POUNDER U.S. beef imports are high after years of dry weather shrank cattle numbers to their lowest since the 1950s, reducing production and raising local prices. Analysts said it will take years for domestic production to grow. Australia, with a herd swelled by wet weather, is flush with supply and has become the biggest shipper to the U.S., offering lower prices and lean cuts that the U.S. lacks. Imported Australian lean trim beef in the U.S. was priced around $3.12 a pound - or almost half a kilogram - before the tariff, said Rabobank analyst Angus Gidley-Baird. The tariff lifted that to $3.43 a pound, still well below the local product which was priced around $3.80, he said, adding just 2.5 cents to the cost of a quarter-pounder made partly from Australian beef. While extra costs are likely to be shared through the supply chain, a sharp fall in the Australian dollar versus the U.S. dollar means Australian producers will feel little pain, analysts said. A cheaper currency is an incentive for U.S. buyers to increase purchases and means Australian sellers receive more local currency per U.S. dollar they receive. The only major beef exporters not subject to U.S. tariffs are Canada and Mexico, but they have limited ability to significantly increase shipments in the short term, said Commonwealth Bank analyst Dennis Voznesenski. China is the only major buyer of U.S. beef to have retaliated to Trump’s tariffs. The country is the third-largest importer of U.S. beef after South Korea and Japan, with the United States accounting for 10% of its beef imports by value.
