If China don't want our barley and beef; fine. There are no hard feelings. Trade recalibrations can be a good thing for both nations, it will prompt Australia to look at what we don't need from China also. It is just business after all. In saying this, I say let the businessmen do business and let the politicians deal with the politics; where possible.

DFAT should be getting to work straight away on finding new markets for our farmers. Plenty of market potential in the rest of Asia and the Middle East.

Isn't barley generally used for animal feed? Feed it to our pigs, chickens and cattle.
