Reply #2 - Nov 7^th, 2014 at 6:32am Twiggy must be ecstatic , odd that Harvey beef sold out to Twiggy before a FTA was announced , Twiggy must've had a crystal ball . Gina was a bit slower off the mark but was buying up cattle farms up north , coincidentally right when FTA announced . They contribute to the LNP don't they?

well durrr...

a smart man would have been buying up farms some time ago when the Abbott government signalled, and then, started signing free trade deals...

Milk, Beef, Food...

Australians need to scale up and scale up quickly if they want to take advantage of the export boom which we are now seeing since the Liberal Government took charge...

mark my words..

and if Australians don't scale up then the chinese will come in and buy Australian farms and scale them up themselves..

More Than 40% Of China's Arable Land Is Degraded

http://www.businessinsider.com.au/r-more-than-40-percent-of-chinas-arable-land-d...

China's over a barrel concerning food and we could have Australians employed in meat works yet unfortunately we have conservative politicians who hate creating jobs for Australians.

Conservatives hate value adding.

This deal builds on what Gillard achieved in her last China trip—direct conversion of the $A into the renmimbi or whatever the Chinese currency is called.

Should NOT be live export—chinese are just as callous regarding animals as any Muslim, any problems creating jobs for Australian workers in new, modern abattoirs FFS?

These Lib FTAs just give away Australia’s interests for the sake of a headline. Bet the cattle won’t be allowed in for 20 years or something.

Really ?

On 18 April 2005, Australia and China agreed to commence negotiations on a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) following consideration of a joint FTA Feasibility Study. The study was completed in March 2005, and concluded that there would be significant economic benefits for both Australia and China through the negotiation of an FTA.

The negotiations are complex, covering an array of issues, including agricultural tariffs and quotas, manufactured goods, services, temporary entry of people and foreign investment.

Started under Howard, Labor couldn't conclude it, but now Abbott looks like he has within 12 months or so. Labor are useless.

Reply #14 - Nov 7^th, 2014 at 8:29am Australian workers will pay a lot in cut wages and lowering living standards to secure this cushy deal for farmers. Its interesting to watch how both labor and liberal are competing to claim the credit for securing a free trade agreement with that incredibly corrupt slave-wage paying China.
