You are shifting the argument by cherry picking Australian beef production (vs meat production in general).
Yes, though not intentionally - this is just an article I read recently so it came up in my memory. I believe, though, that a lot of small animals die because of farming grains everywhere in the world, not only in Australia. Other factors, indeed, may vary greatly.
Lastly, even if you ignore the irrelevance and the bad claims, it concludes that ethically you should only eat rangeland grown meat and kangaroos, a clear counterargument for the usual meat eater diet!
I agree - if one's aim is to minimize the number of animal deaths or the amount of suffering, that seems to be the answer.
