Two continents. One strong partnership 🇪🇺🤝🇦🇺

After almost a decade of work, we concluded the EU–Australia Free Trade Agreement. A win on both sides.

The agreement will:
🌍 boost EU exports to Australia, with growth of 33% expected over the next decade
🌍 save €1 billion in tariffs
🌍 create new opportunities for businesses and farmers
🌍 strengthen cooperation on critical raw materials, security and defence, and research

A relationship built for the long term.

Perhaps, @elricofmelnibone@mastodon.social meant the following:


  • For the existential threat to Indigenous people, most importantly Aboriginals?
  • For the lack of affirmative action in the country compared to some European countries?
  • For the lack of representation of the Torres Strait Islander and aboriginals, particularly melanated, on state-owned media outlets save NITV (Indigenous TV) and seldomly SBS. This deprivation is a true reflection of the representation of First Nations people in government.
  • etc


Yes, we are in the 11th position. Notwithstanding, the democracy is a government of NOT (all) the people, by NOT (all) the people and for NOT (all) the people:

Is this still part of the trade deal?

"Australians may be able to live and work freely in the EU under a two-way mobility scheme put forward by Brussels. The same options would be open to EU citizens looking to move to Australia.

NewsWire understands the scheme was offered as a “sweetener” to get Canberra over the line on an elusive free-trade deal."

Hello @severin!
The Free Trade Agreement between Australia and the EU at this point will make it easier for researchers to move between the two continents. For the future, the parties have also agreed to launch formal negotiations for the association of Australia to Horizon Europe.
