I'm sorry, bias that again for me...

We don't import bananas because if we did, there'd be diseases we don't want and then we'd produce NO bananas.
Indonesia have just told us they are not goint to allow 520,000 live cattle into there next year.
Australia will only be allowed 280,000. So there's a nice government interference that has caused real damage.
Pork, most Bacon in Australia comes from Europe and most pork meat comes from North America - BECAUSE THEY'RE SUBSIDISED by their governments.
So much for Paul Keating's 'level playing field'
