![]() ![]() And, equally, we need the EU to understand our position when it comes to those geographic indicators. We’ve obviously been very clear about our position from the beginning of these negotiations – that we really need to see some commercially meaningful expansion of new markets for our producers for this deal to be worth doing. And, yeah, I think the negotiations that he’s just undertaken have reached a difficult stage. I’ve been working very closely with Don throughout this. He’s obviously just finished two days of trade talks in Brussels. But I actually spoke to Don Farrell, the Trade Minister last night. MURRAY WATT: Yeah, there is a lot at stake here, Hamish, because, of course, it’s important that we do keep opening new and expanded markets for our agricultural producers in Australia let alone the other goods that we want to export to the EU. Is it fair to say that these talks have hit a snag? HAMISH MACDONALD: There’s a lot at stake here. MURRAY WATT, MINISTER FOR AGRICULTURE, FISHERIES AND FORESTRY: Morning, Hamish. Murray Watt is the Minister for Agriculture and Emergency Management. A trade deal with Europe would give Australian producers better access to a market with a GDP of $20 trillion, including reduced tariffs for agricultural products. It would leave a lot of Australian producers in the lurch, and it’s quickly stalling talks between the two sides. Feta, prosecco, prosciutto, have become a major sticking point in the free trade negotiations between Australia and the EU which wants goods like prosecco only to be imported from the original region in Italy, like you see with champagne.

You don't have to be right-wing, just please please please stop being so biased & stupid. ![]() I find a lot of your programs depressing, biased, tokenistic & most damningly, pointless. Every now and again a dissenting voice is allowed & these are a poignant reminder of what the ABC is supposed to be and could be again if you would just stop contratulating yourselves on how 'progressive' you are. I can't recall a single male-centered program in point of fact. Gender centered programs on women outnumber male-centered by way more than 100-1. If you had to pay a swear box fee of a dollar for every 'ist' word - misogynist, sexist, ableist, racist etc - uttered each day on your programs, the corporation would be broke. ![]() You think you're hip but haven't got a clue as to where the hip is in the body let alone any other meaning of the word. You are however expected to to not editorialise & slant every piece of news which you idealogically disagree with - this is at best tiresome, naff & depressing. No one is expecting you to not be left wing - I'm left wing. The ABC is not meant to be the bizarro version of the Daily Telegraph! You are meant to be intelligent & reasonably balanced. ![]()
