Farmers are just going to be collateral damage like fishermen. But who was the arrogant dick arguing against Minnete?

Why worry about the import of food that will need to be flown or shipped half way round the world?
If the UK can't beat that on price and quality it's a pretty poor show.

Minette waffled on PM without saying anything of any meaning. She needed to list specific differences in welfare between here and Australia, but just made vague references to "maintaining our standards". The treasury minister on after her spoke plainly and said she was speaking rubbish, which was hard to disagree with. It may be that Oz beef and lamb exports are nothing to worry about, but, unless the need for a level playing field in welfare standards becomes accepted by the government and demanded by the consumer, the next step is unlimited US beef.

Australian prime cattle seem to be $3.91/kg lw for finished steers, that's £2.15
This is terrible all together. Blighty’s very own dear long lost cousins, driving a very hard bargain with Lizzy. Shocking disrespect considering all that Motherland did for them over years of colonisation.
Get @Danllan on the case. He is a leading luminary on the great CONZUK rebirth movement. A coming together he calls it, of friends, cousins, relations, like minded peoples, similar legal systems, English speaking, all likely he says to chomp at the bit, to realign with the second coming of GB. A great new economic League of Nations, able, ready and willing, under enlightened London Tory Etonian leadership, to compete with and hold sway with any other trading block on the planet.

Unless your business relies on barley then I don't see much to worry about. UK hogged market isn't massive or there'd be loads of the stuff here already and they look to be producing more and more high end beef, which tends to get swallowed up by Asia and America.
Have you ever felt the need of counselling?

If Australia get free trade for their agriculture it will set a precedent and all other countries we do deals with will want the same including America.

And do we not want tariff free access to new markets? Works both ways I'm afraid can't have our cake and eat it too.

From an Ag POV as long as we can produce it cheaper than others then we're fine.

What are you all worried about if your so efficient, green (red) and highest standards (oh please give me a break). Welcome to the world of international trade .....theres always winners and losers....And get used to it, your just a very minor piece on the board in your Governments dealings.
If your so efficient, you shouldn't have a worry against product with added shipping costs should you.....
Every food known to man is available in most supermarkets here. And that's how it is. Bugger all tarrifs on anything and yet we survive (and seemingly are a threat to those of you with your heads up your arses).
