In December 2015 the Australian and Chinese governments agreed to a bilateral Free Trade agreement. The agreement made 95% of all Australian exports into China tariff-free including agricultural products such as beef and dairy. Opponents of the deal included Unions who argued that it posed the risk of shipping jobs to China since it did not contain any labour market testing requirements. Proponents argue that the deal will grow the economy by giving exporters greater access to the expanding Chinese economy.

How can you (not) support something that you are not allowed to know all the details of?
@4ZHZGV44yrs4Y
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.

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
