Letter to The Editor

There is some concern over the demise of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) since President-elect, Donald Trump, has announced the US will withdraw from the agreement.
There need be no concern really.  Donald Trump is withdrawing because it will be in the interest of his country and the same applies to Australia.

We can agree to trade in a much more simple way where goods can be exchanged without hundreds of pages of fine print which implicate us beyond reasonable trade matters. Australian primary production has world-wide appeal, so selling it does not present any problem.
