Penny Wong is next. She says Australia will continue to engage with the United States “to seek to remove these unfair 10% tariffs on Australian goods. We believe that it’s by negotiation, by discussion, by sitting down and explaining to people the issues at hand that we can best present the case for Australia”.
Which is all very sensible mum trying to talk her adult child out of dropping out of university to become a content creator vibes.
She also goes through the trade deals and says on Monday she will speak with her EU counterpart and says while everyone knows how the last chats with the Europeans went “I think things have changed”.
And the opportunity to have further negotiations about a free trade agreement on better terms than have been previously offered now exists.
We should take that opportunity.
The last month, I have spoken to all of our major trading partners and we’re going to continue expanding our trade opportunities with them. I also had the opportunity to speak to all the affected industries by these decisions, the Prime Minister’s outlined the way in which we’re going to continue to support those industries, but in particular, push them out the door into new markets.
That’s what we’ve got to do.
We got to push Australian companies out in the world, why is that? Well, because we know that if you’re an export-focused company, your profits are higher but more importantly, the wages of your staff are higher. So, we have now a renewed opportunity, people want to talk to us, we want to talk to them, it’s all about expanding our opportunities to get our wonderful food, wine, and manufacturing product to the rest of the world.
