Organisers of a beef crisis summit in north Queensland today want to see 100,000 Australian cattle donated to Indonesia. Up to 500 graziers, as well as the state and federal agriculture ministers, are gathering for a meeting in Richmond to address the high Australian dollar, drought, high debt and the reduced cattle export industry.

 

Organiser Barry Hughes says one resolution is to make good with Indonesia after the live export suspension.
