I incorrectly named Future Super as a super fund whose investment include Live Export. I misread the information. I retract that comment. On the 29th of August there is a rally against Live Export, it is at Martin Place Sydney, 12 -1:30pm. If you can make it, this would be terrific. So I received an email last night about Indonesia and frozen meat: This is the report 1"The first shipment of frozen Indian buffalo meat is en route to Jakarta as part of the Indonesian Government's new plan to bring down beef prices and reduce reliance on Australian live cattle exports" "It will serve a purpose, but there's still a market for live cattle from Australia as well as quality chilled beef from Australia" So we know that Indonesia will buy frozen meat. I was also notified about the possibility of the Live Export of Donkeys. Please Read.. 2"The Northern Territory Government is investigating the economic opportunities of farming donkeys, in response to ongoing enquiries from Chinese investors Demand for donkey products, especially donkey hide gelatin (ejiao), is on the rise in China and supply is reducing". 3 "A union representing meat workers at north Queensland's only major abattoir has called on the Federal Government to cap the number of cattle leaving Australia by boat. The Australasian Meat Industry Employees' Union (AMIEU) said 580 workers had been without pay for nearly three months due to an extended shutdown at Townsville's Stuart plant. Realistically there's 580 people employed at that Townsville plant, 580 people spending $25 million in the local economy, and that money then keeps going around four or five times is a much more significant contributor to the local region of Townsville than putting cattle on a boat." 1 http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-19/indian-buffalo-meat-en-route-to-jakarta-indonesia/7587174 http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-19/indian-buffalo-meat-en-route-to-jakarta-indonesia/7587174 2 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-14/chinese-eyes-on-northern-territory-for-donkey-farming/7628078 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-14/chinese-eyes-on-northern-territory-for-donkey-farming/7628078 3 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-22/meatworkers-union-calls-for-cap-on-cattle-exports/7188988 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-22/meatworkers-union-calls-for-cap-on-cattle-exports/7188988
