That sums it up perfectly. All the outrage when Labor put a stop to beef exports due to animal cruelty but nothing from the right wing media about Scott's brown nosing kicking the heads of barley, wine producers. Oh and coal, timber and lobsters.
Peas in a pod that photo.Better a bunch of latte drinking socialists running the country than inept felons.
The outrage was for two reasons. The first was that the Gillard Governments action was illegal under Australian law with a court ruling finding Joe Ludwig ( Labor agriculture minister ) operated with Misfeacance while in office

The second reason for the outrage was that the ban was initiated during a long drought in the Northern Australian regions where Cattle for the Indonesian live trade where sourced. This resulted in a huge LABOR GOVERNMENT CAUSED animal welfare issue as Cattle built up on drought affected farms eventually dying or being put down by farmers as the cattle had no-where to go.
It was an example of gross cruelty caused by the erratic actions and negligence of a citycentric government pandering to a citycentric PC lobby. The result, hundreds of thousands of cattle dying of starvation. The answer was simple. Greater accountability and rigorous inspections in the Indonesian supply chain and a phased ban on live cattle exports with diminishing quota's over a period of several years to allow the industry time to adjust.
I haven't heard anyone claim the Morrison government standing up to the bully boy tactics of China is illegal. China is getting out of hand with its management of disputed territories, human rights issues, detaining Australian citizens for no reason and lack of International responsibility and diplomacy. Australia needs to stand up for its international rights or continue to have its nose rubbed in the dirt by an international bully.
As a Barley grower on the front line of the dispute and one who is taking a financial hair cut for the common good ( including posters on this forum ) , I support the Morrison Government standing up for Australia rather than caving in to a dictatorial, communist regime.
I think the courts have already ruled on who the " inept felons " are..
