RT @CeeMacBee: 6. Aust exports ~1 million tonnes of beef pa. It supplies whatever beef its customers want. Their 2nd biggest customer, China, does not allow HGP beef so Aust strictly monitors hormones given to cattle & has full traceability through its National Livestock Identification System.

RT @CeeMacBee: 5. The UK is not a large exporter of agricultural products – it is a large importer. UK Cheese exports made up only 0.17% of total UK exports in 2022. But UK made whisky and gin just had Australia’s 5% tariff removed from their price.

RT @CeeMacBee: 4. UK made machinery and precision equipment is also now tariff free in Australia, these are also large exports for the UK.

RT @CeeMacBee: 3. UK made cars are now tariff free in Australia, the tariff was 5% which is a lot of money on the UK’s premium vehicles. Cars are one of the UK’s most valuable exports interntionally.

RT @CeeMacBee: 2. Unlike Australia, the UK is retaining its tariffs, quotas and PSS on Aust food for many years:
Beef - 15 yrs
Sheepmeat - 15 yrs
Dairy products - 5 yrs
Wheat - 5 yrs
Barley - 5 yrs
Sugar - 8 yrs
Fruit & veg - 4 to 8 yrs
This is bad for UK consumers but good for the EU farmers

RT @CeeMacBee: A short 🧵 about the UK Aust FTA:
1. Australia has dropped all tariffs and quotas on all UK goods with the exception of some steel coils and pipes and some UK cheeses, both will need to wait for 5 years and 6 years before Australians can import them completely tariff free.

UK's future is outside the EU but we need to act now to make Brexit work - KEIR STARMER Britain's future is outside the EU.

UK has only just started to take advantage of the freedom to negotiate new agreements which will open up more opportunities for international trade in services, as well as goods. These opportunities too will only grow over time

Crunch vote must bring an end to the CBI’s toothless wittering- THE CBI are part of the blob, part of the problem, more interested in seeking favour with government than speaking for enterprise. What’s the point? That’s why nothing changes.

Crunch vote must bring an end to the CBI’s toothless wittering- Entrepreneurs, family businesses, SUPPORT THE IBN, rather than the corporatist CBI controlled by the vested interests of land owners & the multi nationals - many foreign owned.

How does AI threaten us — and can we make it safe? THERE MAY BE dangers in AI but why are our media so anti technological development? This is beginning to look like the bogus campaign against Genetically Modified crops.
