Indonesia cuts live cattle imports


Indonesia will import 200,000 fewer Australian live cattle in a decision that has come as a surprise to exporters.


Live exporters are surprised by Indonesia's decision to dramatically cut imports of Australian cattle.

Indonesia will only allow 50,000 head of cattle between July and September this year, down from 250,000 the previous quarter.

The Australian Livestock Exporters Council chief executive Alison Penfold told ABC radio on Tuesday the quota reduction is significantly below expectations, and has taken the industry by surprise.

Is abbott still planning on sealing cattle roads for Gina with tax payer funds?



Maybe this cut in trade is a reflection of abbott's damage to the oz - indo relationship.

Shameful episode.
people who know nothing about cattle saying how a sledgehammer is some terrible weapon on torture when a good blow would cause instant unconsciousness.
cattle have very thin skulls.
here's a clip of a goat head butting a cow and knocking it out.
another billion dollar export industry ruined by the ABC  and inner city green twits. hope they are proud of themselves.
should be a few graziers tying nooses in their barns thanks to the inner city tossers.

Do tell us greenie, what are the greens plans for export industries to support all these wind farms and other imported BS you support. to pay for all the welfare and refugees who need to be housed and fed.

Tell us about where the greens think money comes from if not from

mining
farming
fishing
forrestry
tourism in places like the reef

Tell us about how the doctor who now heads your organisation plans to earn export dollars.
We are all ears.

if you cant list any export industries , then i presume you see a very "greek" future for australia.

Better get in the queue to scavenge in the dumpster.
And stay away from the farmers.
We will be exporting to the cashed up asians.
We'll send our produce with an armed escort to make sure urban greens dont get any of it .

i cant see anything wrong with live cattle exports.
i think people who oppose it, are total hypocrites.
when they are happy to eat bacon from pigs confined to a 6ft x 6 ft prison cell but think cattle that have a great life wandering the plains of north qld or the NT somehow need to be killed in some sort of sanitised way so as not to offend their sensitivities.
Words fail me for the ignorance of shows like those on the ABC.
A sledgehammer is quite an acceptable way to kill a cow.
the spanish slowly killing them in the bull fight for sport is unacceptable.
anyway, the industry is going to be sold to the asians now that you have devalued it so much.
congratulations lefties

the concept of a million hectares is lost on an inner city green who lives in a concrete and glass jungle.
the only time they venture out from their plasmas showing non stop ABC and SBS shows is to watch the mardi gras or to restock the gluten free pantry

You really should do something about your jealousy. It's a mental cancer that undermines you rationality.
