More lovely Italian, Belgian and French food in Australia
Here is an idea though: What about the free flow of people???

many of these so called free-trade agreements end up benefiting whoever has the biggest | nosiest lobby.
saw it happen in the UK with the so called fishermen.
then again saw it happen in the US | UK with regards to luxury cars.
the common man what does he benefit - no free movement of labor.

Reading the details, this is objectively a terrible deal for Australia. No wonder Australia previously just walked away from these negotiations.
Everyone is so upset about Trump that they're signing awful trade deals so they can pretend like the international order is alive and well and doing great.
