It appears things remain at stalemate between the two factions of the Beef Plan Movement.

A well-placed source in the Department told me that the Department has received “correspondence from two separate addresses, signed by three separate chairpersons, purporting to be the Beef Plan Movement regarding participation in the Beef Market Taskforce”.

As I hear it, one side is looking to replace the current appointees on the taskforce. If they are at war with themselves, with one side trying to out the other, do they deserve a seat at the taskforce table? What do their members think of the whole thing? The Dealer’s mind boggles.

Surely it’s an own goal on their behalf?

Perhaps a Zoom meeting is needed with all sides to thrash the whole thing out.
