‘Australia can feed the world’: Is Albanese out of touch?

Anthony Albanese has made an offer to the world at yesterday’s G20 Summit in Bali that Australian food exports could help avert global famine, declaring the country’s prospects as a green energy giant will prove decisive.

As Australia faces their own issues with train networks, supply chains, tug boats and struggling for farm labor, Albo’s comments have raised many eyebrows.

Tony Seabrook, Pastoralists and Graziers Association President told Simon Beaumont onĀ 6PR Mornings that Albanese may have got over excited in making this announcement.

“We currently produce enough of the finest food in the world to feed all Australians, we do that in great style. There is enough left over to export to feed another 50 million people in other parts of the world.

“But the potential to feed more is absolutely staggering, we just need to figure out what we need to do to get that kind of capacity up and running.”
