In this week’s episode of The Weekly Grill podcast series, host Kerry Lonergan turns up the heat on Queensland beef processor and supply chain manager, Australian Country Choice’s David Foote.

Mr Foote is currently in gradual transition out of his full-time role as ACC’s group managing director, which he has filled for the past 22 years, handing over the reins recently to Anthony Lee.

Ove the years Mr Foote has become well-known for expressing strong, well-argued opinions about red meat industry matters – ranging from labour reform to industry representation, the industry’s response to recent challenges over its environmental footprint and animal welfare and a host of other topics – many of which are touched-on in this podcast.
