Country of Origin labelling is something that consumers really want, and I think it's critical to support Australian farmers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People forget that a huge proportion of our jobs still depend on agricultural production in Australia so of course there are exports. That's easily overlooked.
Australia is a resource-rich nation. We have been good at exploiting our minerals base and agricultural sector for exports.
In my view, helping to feed a hungry world is Australia's greatest responsibility and opportunity in the 21st century.
I believe we have the potential to quadruple Australia's food exports to Asia.
I think Australian food is probably some of the best in the world.
New Zealand has incredible global recognition for grass-fed livestock.
I think traditional supermarkets have to pay attention to the fact that America is more and more conscious of lifestyle.
We had Taiwan, Egypt, Lebanon, and Oman open their markets to our beef, and we're excited about that.
Many young and beginning farmers start out in local markets. Some stay there, and some scale up.
America has given me everything Australia couldn't. I grew up on a dairy farm. Now I live in Isleworth, a gated community in Orlando with Tiger Woods down the street.
