Leader of Katter’s Australia Party Robbie Katter says until Australia can “learn to cut China out of the equation” in most respects, we will “always have a weak bargaining position”. China has given the nation’s barley producers ten days before potentially imposing close to an 80 per cent tax on its barley imports. This comes as an ongoing committee into the need for diversification in Australia’s trade relationships is preparing to call on the Chinese Ambassador to Australia to give testimony. Mr Katter described the current jostling between the Australian and Chinese governments as “certainly a game of brinkmanship”.
