Australia Free Trade Deal?

JD-Kid · May 18, 2021

might have more efect on the kiwis if the ockers get a open door in to the uk ..
but on the other hand could be good for the uk industry the Aussies used to have very strong unions years ago. all the tractors had Aussie made tires on them the union would not let in overseas tires
not sure if the unions are as strong nowadays tho

Western European wages, land prices due to the tax regime, the Tax Regime , HSE and animal health regulations mean we can't compete. We know this ( and they do too)!

because to access there markets we would need 1 a consistent premium product
2 a government that gave a sh5t

Why do you need the government to sell to Japan?
You just need a good product and an exporter don't you?

Oh. And as @Yale said.....Theres nothing stopping you buying farmland here (try that in most countries where you are a non citizen) and hedging your bets.
I know of a UK dairy farmer that owns dairy farms here to.

Uk citizens cant get residency in oz, or has it changed?

What's that got to do with it.
Oz , if it dies the RSPCA aren't going to get a call are they?
Feedlots in South America are paying WE wages per hour , per week or less. If you can match that carry on with the race to the bottom

Knew John Bell, he once said to me " the arable supplied the cattle enterprise, now cereals subsidise the cattle. This isn't sustainable"
As he had 7500 head and I had 360 , I listened!
Emigrated when I got the chance.

RSPCA have significant powers in Australia. They can (and do!) seize livestock without a court order.

This myth about the southern hemisphere being a lawless animal welfare wild west really do need to stop. It just makes people look silly.

And the little matter of an export health certificate, agreed between civil servants from both countries.
