🇬🇧🇦🇺 UK–AUSTRALIA TRADE: Some 30% of Australia's imports came from the UK before we joined the Common Market (now called the EU). It's now 5%. Aussie PM Scott Morrison says this FTA is an opportunity for our two countries to 'pick up where we left off all those many years ago.'

Well this is great news.

On a personal note, I was wanting to work and live in Australia on the Working Holiday Visa (WHV) but with the Coronavirus restrictions I was feeling that this opportunity was fading as the previous age restriction was 30 and I am 28. Glad to see they've now raised the age to 35 and made it more flexible.

I'll likely do a year in Barcelona now and then off to Australia at the end of next summer! Pretty happy with this.

We'll now also be seeing more iconic Australia goods on our supermarket shelves and vice versa.
