Debate on beef price parity for Queensland cattle

Mr Kirwan and Mr Walsh led debate on livestock pricing unrest over proposed uniform beef prices for local and imperial uses. They urged parity at 4 5s per root or about 2s 5d per pound, arguing it would protect cattle farmers amid drought and Russia’s supply cuts. Attwood claimed 4 5s 5d per pound for prime ballock beef. Ryan pressed for English price equivalence and local market fairness.
