Got chatting to a pair of cow cockies unloading a truck. What great pair of blokes! They took me through and showed me the process of unloading the cattle, weighing and penning them. It is 10 years ago since last I was in Cloncurry, chasing copper. The then Labor Government got spooked by a expose video showing cattle being mistreated in Indonesia and slapped an instant ban on all live cattle exports.
Local farmers were not happy.
Just this week a class action against the government has been concluded just half of a half Billion dollars. Farmers copped it then - taxpayers cop it now. The then Prime Minister is currently sharing notes with the current Shadow American Vice President in how to play the "vagina card" if ever criticized.
Our Jules is doing quite nicely thank you very much.
