Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The National Party has pledged to vote against Australia's $10 billion-a-year free-trade agreement with the European Union. Opposition trade spokesman Matt Canavan argued the pact exposes Australian producers to unfair competition and fails to secure meaningful European market access. The agreement, which Labor hopes to sign early next year, includes a tariff-free annual quota of 30,600 tonnes of beef over ten years and 25,000 tonnes of sheepmeat and goatmeat over seven years.
