Indonesia and Australia have finally signed a free-trade deal between the two nations, following years of negotiations.
The confirmation of the Indonesia Australia Comprehensive Partnership Agreement was stalled by a number of issues, including when Scott Morrison floated the idea of moving Australia's embassy in Israel last year. Trade Minister Simon Birmingham said the deal would eliminate tariffs in relation to 94 per cent of tariff lines. The deal is expected to be a big win for Australia's farmers, universities, and healthcare providers.

Australia urged against withdrawing from Paris Agreement | Sky News AustraliaAccording to US-based think tank Brookings Institution nations who stay in the Paris Climate Change treaty will ultimately be better off than those who renege on the agreement earlier.\n\nAccording to the data, Australia’s economic growth will slow by up-to-two per cent if it stays in the global agreement.\n\nHowever, according to the study’s authors, the benefits of reducing global emissions offsets the short-term benefits of unilaterally withdrawing from the Paris Accord.\n\nThe Paris Agreement was signed by 197 countries and is designed to stabilise greenhouse gas emissions at a level that would avoid dangerous climate change.\n\nSome conservative politicians, including prominent Liberal backbencher Craig Kelly, has urged Australia to pull out of the agreement, which came into effect in 2016.\n\nGrattan’s Institute’s Energy Program Director Tony Wood told Your Money Australia will be ‘worse-off’ if the government pulls out of the international effort to reduce climate change. rowandean DaveSharma Dave Sharma has sunk his chances of being elected for Wentworth. rowandean DaveSharma My goodness Dean Rowan is a garrulous of C isn’t he?
