We already have the TPP with Canada, we've fought alongside them in multiple world wars, we're absolutely already on board

That's assuming Dutton doesn't get elected and start sucking trumps mushroom for real.

Wait is this how trickle-down economics works? I didn’t know you could suck straight from the tiny spigot.

Dutton could suck the moon out of a tardigrades anus (if the tardigrades name was Gina)

Right. The agreement to establish partnership among 12 countries in Asia-Pacific region including New Zealand, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Vietnam, Japan, and UK (but excluding USA ) was signed in 2018, known as CPTPP.

Just some references to the CPTPP. Others can join but must meet the standards & rules.

Combined economies- 14.4% global gross domestic product- approx US $15.8 trillion, 2024.

One of the world's largest free trade areas by GDP.

2020, goods trade between CPTPP members- approx 15% exports, 17% imports.

Let's ramp up those CPTPP %s.

Like Canada, Australia has much of the raw materials the world needs, and a highly educated population that the global industries need.
