Do you support the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement?

How about a free trade agreement with other third world countries instead of continually feeding the monster in China. China pouring so much throw away trash into this country and Australia's are frittering their hard earned dollars on rubbish that turns into landfill. I want to see other countries from the third world given more opportunities to do trade with Australia.

No, we should expand our free trade with other nations. China has shown itself to be at times unpredictable as a trading partner and at times incompatible with Australian democratic values.

Yes, as long as Australian jobs remain and Chinese influence in Australia doesn't grow, or having an increasing amount of immigrants in Australia, so much that it affects Australia's standard of living.

Yes I think its probably an economic necessity. But more pressure should be put on them for humanitarian issues.

No, the Chinese keep using it to bully us into economic subservience whenever Australia does something it does not approve of. We should look to expanding trade relationships with more like minded partners.

I’m very mid on this I want more manufacturing in Australia however this also on Australians to start trading from within the country, this goes towards more bigger brands and companies as they are the ones pumping out of china for the cheaper $ value, this also goes on finding Australians who want to do the work chinas has been doing, but small businesses are already more like to to in-house manufacturing in Australia

I think I don't have enough information to say yes or no.

No, we should do more to prevent the outsourcing of Australian jobs, and not until China ages to float the yuan and meets strict humanitarian and animal rights stds

No, not until China meets strict humanitarian standards

I don't really have good knowledge of this issue to answer honestly and fairly. China as a nation, and its behaviour are concerning enough that this needs to be looked at through very fine lenses.

Yes but don't allow Chinese to buy property in Australia. It has to be fair as we cannot buy property in China.

Sharing relations with different countries is important, however we must encourage stricter humanitarian and animal rights standards

Yes, but any sanctions met by either party should be put under review of the WTO to prevent trade warfare.

I support the free trade agreement to some extent but we must also make sure to support Australian jobs

limit the amount of outsourcing and only if China agrees to float the yuan and end its currency manipulation and not until China meets strict humanitarian and animal rights standards

Australia should become more self-sufficient and rely less upon trade with China to prop up our economy at the expense of Australian industries and workers.

I think that good in the short term but we should move our economic dependence away from foreign powers

Yes, but only if China stops taking aggressive action towards ADF assets in international waters and airspace

Yes but we should do more to lessen our dependence on China and to prevent outsourcing of Australian jobs

Yes, but we should do more to lessen dependence on Chinese trade and prevent outsourcing of Australian jobs

Yes, but only if Australia tries to become less dependent on China and prevent outsourcing of Aussie jobs

I think that it is both good and bad in it's own way (humanitarian and animal rights standards are not upheld everywhere but it helps to enforce our alliance and is a large money source for international exporters around australia)

To a certain extent. Not at the sake of housing prices and for the exploitation of Australian citizens

I don’t really understand this. I will have to look into it more. Are products generally taxed when shipped or is the Chinese getting some special treatment for some reason?

I think we should begin to expand relations to India etc and begin to rely less on China, Diversify the portfolio so to speak.

I do not like the trade agreement as China is too egotistical, however, I understand that the trading is necessary for the economy.

yes but we need to look for other suppliers we are too reliant on china trade for our economy, especially in our iron ore exports

Yes, but Australia should seek to diversify their trade partners to decrease the effect of China's implementation of tariffs.

I don’t believe that China would ever agree and adhere to a true free-trade agreement with Australia

as long as both countries are benefiting equally and Australia isn't taking advantage of chinas market.

No - there is no such thing as a Free Trade Agreement. Only regulated markets and governments whom negotiate (often not well) on their behalf.

No. China are economic bullies and we should try to reduce our trade with them once our economy improves.

No, and we should try to reduce Australian trade with China once the cost of living goes down. They are economic bullies.

No. China are economic bullies and we rely too much on them economically. We need to find new trading partners.

Australia needs to become less reliant on china. Australia needs to get new trading partners, particularly those in NATO. While breaking away from China would be rough at first, it would certainly benefit us in the long run.

No, not until China agrees to adhere to humanitarian and animal rights standards and end its economic misdeeds, such as it's currency manipulation.

what's that

No, create agreements with the West such as the United States

couldn't care less lil bro

i have not been educated about it

As long as China provides us with adequate sources and Australia returns it there is no issue.

Don’t kneo

I am uninformed to make a decision.

Kinda of but also we shouldnt be so dependable on China for trade and services

No, I Don't Support Any free trade Agreement.

mixed choice

No, not until China meets strict humanitarian rights standards (Xin- Xiang, Hong Kong, South China Sea, Chinese corporations with CCP ties overseas) and halts it’s military intimidation and propaganda war over Taiwan.

No, Australia should be aiming at self sufficiency and should not be partnering with countries that do not meet human rights, animal rights and environmental sustainability benchmarks.

No, we should do more to prevent outsourcing Australian jobs and china companies should be forced to meet strict standard humanitarian and animal rights

What the hell does this mean

Know nothing about it

Yes, so long as the products meet environmental safety standards for people and pollution.

Yes but with less influence on Australia from China

Only if China agrees to operate within renegotiated rules which are fair.

I actually don’t know enough about this to form an opinion. I think we need to keep a lot more jobs and produce for ourselves, I think China need to improve human and animal rights practices but I think it would be hypocritical of Australia to enforce that on them unless we improve our own. It’s complicated and nuanced. I don’t actually know.

What the eff is this

Neither for or against, Australia needs to stand up and start producing more home grown but of course we will still out source to other countries, not only china

I don't have enough of an understanding about this to have a solid opinion.

No, and we should do more to prevent the outsourcing of Australian jobs No, not until China meets strict humanitarian and animal rights standards

No. Not until the CCP stop 'legally' dehumanising people such as the unborn, Christians and Muslims

Yes, but we should be seeking alternative trading partners too

Don’t know what the trade agreement is

China should be hit with a Tarif for our iron ore because they need our iron ore and we need to pay off debt.

will have to think about it more

No, not until China meets strict humanitarian and animal rights standards and do more to keep Australian jobs

Yes, but we should still aim to reduce outsourcing of Australian jobs.

Do not know enough about this matter

No and we should do more to prevent outsourcing from Australia as well as actively push for China to meet stricter humanitarian standards.

No, but once China stops threatening Australia then Yes

Australia should continue to trade with China, but find alternative partners to trade with.

Yes but some human rights issues should be addressed in dialogue

Yes provided China respects Australia's genuine freedom and independence

I think it is a good think however, Australia shouldn't rely on China for all products. Australia should be able to create their own products, this as well keeps jobs for Australian peoples

No move trade to India

Yes and no; while the trade agreement strengthens our economy, we are supporting a country that has many humanitarian issues and things I dont personally support

my knowledge is limited, so I cannot make an informed judgement as of yet.

Yes as a partnership with the country can be beneficial with Australia, however China should improve the rights of animals, workers and those they are trading with.

Yes, only if it's a fair trade

china is dodgy

Literally who cares

Neither country should exist.

No with communists

Yes, but only if China ends its tariffs and bans on Australian imports

Yes, but we should try to persuade China to meet strict humanitarian and animal rights standards

No, Not until we have a reason to trade with them instead, and we aren't hostile to them.

Yes but only if they start acting like better global citizens

I personally don't have any opinions on this matter.

Yes, but I think we should work to improve Australian industries

Free market directives should be reduced in favour of more socialist initiatives

In principle but China has made it redundant by using trade to bully

it doesn't really effect me

No, we must focus on trading with closer partners such as Indonesia.

Invade China

No, because China has imposed trade sanctions and tariffs.

Attack china

No, instead move this Free Trade agreement to Japan, South Korea, Singapore or Indonesia.

No Communists cannot be trusted

No free trade agreements should include ISDS

We should transition away from China
