Andrew Robb, Minister for Trade and Investiment of Australia: "More growth, jobs and investiment"

Andrew Robb, Minister for Trade and Investiment of Australia

Dear friends,


this is the message that Andrew Robb (Minister for Trade and Investiment of Australia) has sent to us, supporters of Liberal Party of Australia:
"Antonio Gabriele,

Yesterday, Australia concluded negotiating an historic Free Trade Agreement with China.

This is great news for Australia – because it will mean more growth, jobs and investment.

It will mean higher living standards for Australians.

This agreement will also benefit households through lower prices on whitegoods, clothes and cars.

Along with agreements signed with Korea and Japan earlier this year, this agreement with China forms part of a trifecta of powerful agreements with our major trading partners in North Asia. These partners account for more than 60 per cent of our exports.

These agreements are a major part of the Government’s Economic Action Strategy to build a strong and prosperous economy and a safe and secure Australia.

I thought you may be interested to know what others are saying about this agreement:

“The agreement opens an unprecedented level of access for our key sectors into Chinese markets, builds on Australia’s existing strengths and opens new avenues for growth and job creation.”
Business Council of Australia

“The agreement is an outstanding achievement that will build on Australia’s important trading future with China and provide significantly improved international market access for Australian agricultural goods.”
National Farmers’ Federation

“The agreement builds the architecture Australia needs to export financial services in the Asian century.”
Financial Services Council of Australia

“The Australian red meat and livestock sectors will benefit by $11 billion from the elimination of tariffs negotiated under the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement.”
Meat and Livestock Australia

“The agreement enables Australia to play to its strengths in international trade to secure maximum value for high value-add exports as well as commodities.”
Australian Food and Grocery Council

“A much-awaited free trade agreement with China seals this year’s trade trifecta and has the potential to add tens of millions of dollars to the Australian wine industry’s export earnings.”
Winemakers’ Federation of Australia

“This agreement will cement China as a key destination for Australian vegetable exports, and it is hoped that this will benefit regional communities across the country by creating jobs and boosting economies.”
AUSVEG

“The landmark China-Australia Free Trade Agreement signed in Canberra today will foster an even deeper relationship with China in university education and research.”
Universities Australia

"The agreement is a watershed achievement in Australia’s relationship with China…the free trade agreement will further strengthen a minerals and energy trade already worth more than $80 billion annually."
Minerals Council of Australia

“You have to credit Prime Minister Tony Abbott for picking up the pieces of a stalled process. He made the commitment that a deal would be done this year and is set to deliver. This agreement is a big deal for Australia.”
CPA Australia

Andrew Robb
Minister for Trade and Investment".

In politics you make arrangements to try to create development.
After all, this is a globalized world and to be competitive you have to protect the products of their own country and offer them to the big markets.
Italy, our country, is not doing this.
Australia is doing and that his policies will bear fruit.
Best regards.

Italian:

In politica si fanno accordi per cercare di creare sviluppo.

Del resto, questo è un mondo globalizzato e per essere competitivi si debbono tutelare i prodotti del proprio Paese e proporli ai grandi mercati esteri.

L'Italia, il nostro Paese, non sta facendo questo.

L'Australia lo sta facendo e questa sua politica porterà suoi frutti.

Cordiali saluti.
