Australia could see an influx of British booze, bankers, cosmetics, cars, magazines, BBC TV shows and salmon under a post-Brexit trade deal with the United Kingdom, according to the results of a major consultation conducted by the British government released on Thursday.
The consultation also uncovered fears that an Australia-UK trade deal would lead to a spate of salmonella in Britain – with submissions linking our “lower standards of animal welfare” to “high rates of food poisoning” in Australia.
There was widespread concern among British industries that Australia would benefit more from dropping existing trade barriers.
