In this episode of The Angus Table, host Scott Wright sits down with the Honorable Tony Perrett, Queensland's Minister for Primary Industries and Member for Gympie. Tony shares his remarkable journey from growing up in Kingaroy as the son of a parliamentarian, through 13 years in local government, to running a 2000-head commercial cattle operation and ultimately his “dream job” serving as Minister for Primary Industries.

Scott and Tony discuss Queensland's ambitious vision to grow primary industry value to $30 billion by 2030, critical biosecurity investments and managing disease risks through partnerships with Indonesia, the exciting opportunities in Indonesian markets for Australian beef and live export, drought preparedness as a key priority, and why Tony believes the Angus breed has led the way in quality assurance for the Australian beef industry.

Pull up a chair at the Angus Table for insights from a minister who lives and breathes primary production.
