While I wholly understand that free trade is a good thing, I can't help but notice the immense amount of CO2 needed to produce and ship a bunch of beef from Australia to the EU and vice versa.
Also, this is probably in part an attempt to secure non-US/Russian gas supplies long term.
And the EU wants a a rare earth supplier other than China
You mean that plus the fuck tonne of CO2 cows already produced.
