Program: Australian dairy cattle flown to Indonesia for Prabowo's school lunch program

Fifty dairy heifers have been flown from Sydney to Jakarta in a milestone moment for Indonesia's free school lunch program.

The new president, Prabowo Subianto, has vowed to give free lunches and milk to all school students in an ambitious program set to cost billions of dollars.

The heifers exported this week were organised by the Consolidated Pastoral Company (CPC), one of the biggest cattle companies in northern Australia, with feedlots in Indonesia.
