Canberra|London | Australian farmers have accused the Albanese government of inking the worst-ever free trade deal for the agricultural industry, locking in low export quotas for red meat and placing them at a disadvantage to competitors in New Zealand and Canada.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen signed the long-awaited agreement on Tuesday, as both governments look to deepen ties with like-minded partners amid the old liberal international order coming under severe strain.
