Arent they boiled alive? Poor little things.

There are plenty of countries you could sell to? US, Canada, UK, Japan, India and EU. Here we cannot afford to buy your lobsters, too expensive. I can buy 3 kilos of tiger prawns same price to your one lobster. 😁

The Chinese have gone to buy things from other countries. Australia is an untrustworthy trading partner and could follow the US into war with China at any time.

Sell locally at more realistic, reduced prices! woolworths ALDIAustralia crayfish

It's going to hurt but so did the Covid restrictions but it's time to suspend their imports. Grow some nuts ScottMorrisonMP

Could this situation possibly equate to affordable 🦞 🦞 in the domestic market 👌

Get creative Australia 🇦🇺 you can find a way around anything that’ comes up. 🎯😎

strandedaussies also ! removethecap

And this is exactly what happens when we rely too much on other countries for income. Is it not good enough anymore to just have the local economy

Cheap Crayfish for us West Aussies then.Bugga the Chinese

Starve China out , and on the up side maybe the price of them can come down so aussies can afford them , after all their only exspensive due to China taking them out of Aussie mouths simply threw demand ,, and let’s face it the amount the crayfish boats make is ridiculous

This is about humanity. How can China claim that they are prepared to follow ESG compliance and let good go to waste? theage TheTodayShow PeterDutton_MP ScottMorrisonMP JoshFrydenberg Is there a contract? WHOWPRO WHO UNEP unwomenbih UNHumanRights UN

More fool all these fishing farming cotton all have sucked up to China a communist neurotic pack of politicians that are insulted about anything China rule as if they already own us find other countries and tell China to stuff off my opinion only

Give west Australians some reasonably priced produce for once. Problem solved

Make up your mind Aussies. Your double standard pricey game in politic and business are working against you. Reciprocity is the language of today so simply wake up! Stop crying, whinning and being nosy like a dying granny curling in cradle all day long.

Excellent, perhaps we Aussies can buy crays locally and not be ripped off for a change!

When are we going to stop chinese goods. enough of getting bullied.

Hahaha greed and exploitation of ocean resources gets a reality check

The Communist Party of China can piss off- decouple from China and send our exports elsewhere, including ALL our IRON ORE.....

More tit for tat!

If they like to drop the $90/Kg to something a bit more affordable I'd be quite happy to help out with some lobster meals.

For goodness sake,e ,DO NOT TELL ME THAT NO OTHER COUNTRY WANTS AUSTRALIAS LOBSTERS ,TELL CHINA TO SHOVE IT ,AND SELL IT To other countries who DO ,WHY ARE WE PANDERING TO THAT BLOODY COUNTRY , BOUT time Australia stood on its own two feet in every way ,

Well if there still in good condition send them my way please 😂

So cheaper seafood for us Aussies then?

Sell them domestically again. I’ll buy some at a discount.

Kick America out of Pine Gap.

Can’t remember the last time I ate lobster 🦞 maybe I can now.

Stop all coal and iron ore sails to China right now; any boats already on their way, call them back.

Well maybe they can now feed the Australian market for not the ridiculous inflated price for the asian market.
