Hmm was it science or was it diplomatic negotiation?

Considering how much beef we export I don't understand why we would need to import any from anywhere.

If it's anything like the situation with gas, it's because export contracts are drawn up many years in advance of supply, so supplying for export becomes more important than supplying locally
