Couple of months ago, I recall writing about the UK - Australia trade deal and that it was signed by Boris Johnson (UK Prime Minister) and Scott Morrison (Australian Prime Minister). I recall talking about how shambolic is the post Brexit FTA (free trade agreement) between Australia and the United Kingdom.
Now three months later, Sky News (UK) broke the news on Wednesday with the shocking contradictions from the government regarding the shambolic UK - Australia trade deal by dropping commitments from Paris Climate Accord. Tories & Brexiteers are really, truly & unbelievably liars.
“Ministers agreed to bow to pressure from Australia to drop binding commitments to the Paris climate change agreement from the UK-Australian trade deal, a leaked government email obtained by Sky News has revealed.”
“Liz Truss, the trade secretary, and Kwasi Kwarteng, the business secretary, decided the government could "drop both of the climate asks" from the text of the trade deal, according to the email from a senior official.”
“Among the areas to be removed was "a reference to Paris Agreement temperature goals".”
“Sky News understands the treaty text will contain a reference to Paris, but the reference to specific temperature commitments is disappearing.”
“Government sources confirmed that the references to temperature are now "implicit" rather than spelt out in the text of the trade treaty.”
So that is “Global Britain”. Dropping commitments from the treaty (Paris Climate Agreement) to combat climate change in order to secure the free trade deal with Aussies. The government are really selfish.
Plus why the Australian govt added pressured on the government (British) to agree for the trade deal by lowering standards which will be very harmful for the environment? No wonder the country Australia had suffered wildfires. Particularly at the start of last year in 2020.
You see, that is why countries like Australia and America can play hardball in trade negotiations and Australia did played a hardball. See how the conclusion of the awful trade deal with the land down under.
Bad deal for UK farmers & that they are feeling undercut. That will affect their likelihoods.
Australia having tariff free access to UK farms.
Australia meat imported to the UK in supermarket shops and now this. No climate change commitments being part of the UK - Australia trade deal as it has been dropped. And lowering standards.
Shame on both governments. UK and Australia.
