So in order to sell some of our stuff tariff free in Australia, our farmers have to accept being undercut through imports of sub-standard meat.
Quick question. UK freezes its pension in Australia impoverishing recipients (both Australian & British) & costing Australia in support. Why didn't Australia make 'uprating' & unfreezing of UK's pension condition of the agreement, as was done with EU/UK Withdrawal Agreement? 🔰
Good stuff Morrison. The more we move trade away from china the better for this country.

Australia-UK free trade agreement won't 'matter a huge amount' | Sky News AustraliaThe free trade agreement soon to be struck between Australia and the United Kingdom may not “amount to a great hill of beans,” according to political consultant Jim Middleton.\n\n“What we know about this free trade deal is that (United Kingdom Prime Minister) Boris Johnson needs it. He has to show something as a consequence of Brexit that leaving the EU is not something which is going to cost Britain a great deal,” he told Sky News.\n\nMr Middleton said “something will emerge” from the talks because both Mr Johnson and Prime Minister Scott Morrison want it but it does not necessarily mean it will be worth much.\n\n“In general terms, free trade deals and bilateral agreements don’t really among to a great hill of beans, look, it’s not that long ago we were talking loudly and proudly about the free trade agreement with China, look where that’s ended up.”\n\n“They don’t matter a huge amount, but in terms of public projection for the British audience for Boris Johnson he needs it, Scott Morrison wants it, so there will be an announcement of some kind.”\n QAnonPM Is he trying to get Morrison to dance Zorba The Greek? They’ve lost a stooge !!

‘New era’: UK trade details on working, exports revealedA free trade deal with the United Kingdom will make it easier for Australians to work in Britain, while farmers are also winners under the agreement. There is nothing I would want more than to trade Morrison for some galaxy chocolate. ScottyFromQanon Caption to this picture: Trump couldn’t get here but we had a conference call with him just a short while ago. Meanwhile in Australia the last publicly available stats on people staying illegally .....the UK was at the top of the list...more of the same. Corporate farmers may be the winners. Aussie families will not be. Supermarket food prices will go up especially beef and lamb.
