Does Ed Husic think the tariffs will hit Australia before any exemption would be put in place?

Husic:

Our intention is to lift the uncertainty as quickly as we can and work with our friends in the US on that. Sometimes it takes a bit of time. If you note, the last time this occurred, Prime Minister Turnbull, with others, worked to get us those exemptions and it took a bit of time to secure that. And so – you know, while we are focused on trying to get that done as soon as possible f you look at the history it’s not always that easy. We just hope that we can make new history this time, get it sorted out quickly, provide the certainty people need.
