A free trade agreement with Australia will “set the agenda” for the United Kingdom going forward, according to Australian British Chamber of Commerce CEO David McCredie.

Details are expected to be announced late Tuesday afternoon Australian time, after Prime Minister Scott Morrison met with Prime Minister Boris Johnson for over two hours to discuss the FTA. “This is the first new agreement that the UK are signing into, they’ve rolled other agreements over that they’ve had through the EU with countries like Japan,” he said.

“This is the first one that started with a clean sheet of paper that really starts to set their agenda going forward as Secretary of State Liz Truss has said on numerous occasions. “Indeed it has been echoed politically here in Australia that we want to see a gold standard FTA between the two countries. “For the UK this really is a flag waving opportunity to say independent, global Britain is back and they’re keen to do trade with all of the world”.

Boris Johnson ‘making it up as he goes along’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host James Morrow says British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was playing “buzzword bingo” at the G7 when he remarked the leaders’ people wanted them to be “building back better” in a “more gender neutral” and “more feminine way”.\n\n“That is what the people of our countries now want us to focus on,” Mr Johnson said.\n\n“They want us to be sure that we’re beating the pandemic together and discussing how we’ll never have a repeat of what we have seen but also that we’re building back better together.\n\n“And building back greener and building back fairer and building back more equal and, how shall I, in a more gender neutral and perhaps more feminine way.”\n\nMr Morrow said the British prime minister appeared to be “making it up as he goes along”.\n\n“I don’t think he had any clue what he was saying,” he said. \n\n“The wrap on Boris Johnson has always been that whoever is the most recent person to get into his ear about something, that’s what going to come out of his mouth.\n\n“I suspect that his new wife, who’s quite left-wing, has probably planted quite a bit of these talking points.” 'Conservatives' UncleBoris ''that inappropriate relative'' Diversionary tactic only to distract social media while they pursue other agendas.

Kamala Harris given job as 'border tsar' but visits Guatemala's instead | Sky News AustraliaDocumentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz says Vice President Kamala Harris was given a job to manage the US border but she hasn't visited it yet – despite the US having the 'largest amount of people entering illegally in the last 20 years'. \n\n'She was given a job, the border tsar, she hasn't visited the border, she went to the Guatemalan border. I don't understand what's happening here,' he said.\n\n'Just to be clear that we have the largest amount of people entering illegally in the last 20 years in 2021, what's changed I wonder.\n\n'But she won't go down to the border because she doesn't want to be faced with her failures right in front of her. She'll go down there and she will be met with a hostile response by congresspeople and citizens who live along the border.' And doesn’t Biden realise that more immigrants = more housing and infrastructure which = more resources needed to build these houses? Oh, but we cannot use steel and timber as this effects ‘climate change’. Or maybe we build with mud and clay. Oh the hypocrisy is hilarious! 🤣 She is going to visit it. Means getting dirty . . She is going to be president very soon

Operation Ironside a ‘dramatic blow’ to Australian crime | Sky News AustraliaAFP Commander Erica Merrin says Operation Ironside has delivered a “dramatic blow” to the criminal environment in Australia but the pursuit of organised crime needs to be “relentless”.\n\n“We’ve been very pleased with the outcomes of Operation Ironside, but our work doesn’t stop here,” she told Sky News.\n\n“We’ll be at this for years.”\n\nThe AFP said Operation Ironside resulted in the arrest of 224 offenders on 526 charges in every mainland Australian state.\n\n“More than 4,000 members from the AFP and state and territory police have been involved in the execution of hundreds of warrants since 7 June, 2021, under Operation Ironside, which covertly began three years ago,” an AFP media release said. \n\nMs Merrin said “operational security” was “paramount” to success.\n\n“This was a protracted investigation involving the FBI, other international partners,” she said.\n\n“The FBI were as long-running as five years, the AFP three years.\n\n“In some cases, we weren’t briefing in our own people until just before we were about to go through the doors.\n\n“Operational security was paramount throughout the course of this investigation, and our members are trained for this, they understand the need-to-know principle.” Won't even change the street price of coke. And I ask will you be investigation the criminals who work in law enforcement or do they get a get away with it card?
