Faggot Trump put Tarrifs on Australia when we have NO Tarrifs on the US

What the fuck does US import from Australia anyways?

blooming onions

350,000 metric tons of beef a year, for a start.

He shit talked us

Death to america

10% for 10% you stupid bitch

Semantics. The effect is the same. Figure it out.

I wish real life Australians were more like they are in TF2 lore. That would be cool.

A tax is a tax, no different to a subsidy is a tariff with a different name. He just did the 10% bullshit for simplicity sake in comparing dozens of nations. Nearly 1/3 of our exports to the US is beef yet we ban any import of their beef.

I don’t want any of our food getting exported so don’t give a fuck.

biggest mutt deep throaters upset at being tariffed

basically mini USA but upside down

ooof eck oooy why they tariff us cor blimey

looool

While RFK Jr. is fighting the agrobusiness lobby to prevent them from injecting Jewish chemicals and poison in American food, Trump wants to export that garbage to the rest of the world...

Diplomacy is 90% a game of semantics though. I just don't see what the point is in making false claims about reciprocal tariffs. Is this supposed to elicit a desired reaction from these nations? Or is he just trying to appeal to US voters by framing this issue as a fight against injustice in how the US has been treated on the world stage?

we don't want your pozzed zogchow

Actually this is good man, we'll get cheap beef we're going to be eating cheap steak again boys

Apparently we imported $10 million of beef last year while exporting over $1 billion. We have a massive surplus of beef. If there was no ban on US beef imports we might buy like a million bucks worth a year, if that.
It's a non issue.
I don't care about Trump putting tariffs on us. But I don't understand the need for all the smoke and mirrors. Obviously it has fuck all to do with the non exisitant Australian beef import sector. I just wish he would be more forthright with his strategy and desires.

IT'S TIME TO MAKE AUSTRALIA GREAT AGAIN AND STOP SELLING OUR SHIT FOR CHEAP TO OTHER DEGENERATE COUNTRIES. WE ARE IN A GREAT POSITION TO BE 100% SELF SUFFICIENT WE JUST NEED TO INCREASE TECH AND MANUFACTURING

at least albo isnt going to cuck to zion don as much as duttplug would

we imported $10 million of beef last year

We don't need it though. It's a token bullshit trade agreement we've got plenty of our own beef

your beef is ass by the way.

Imagine coping this hard

Sorry Australia. But new zealand on the other hand, fuck those kiwi sucking faggots.

the world deserves it. fuckem

back to breadlines seppo

This.

I accept your concession bud

Remind me again, which one is Australia?

Remind me again, which one is Australia?

The one with gold, unlike fort knox lol

Look again, you guys are raping us with lack of fair market access.

the island you require to be on good terms with for force projection in asia :)

Yeah fuck those NZ fags and their plagiarised flag copycat thieving cunts

Australia WON’T respond to Trump’s tariffs

PM Albanese says 'American people will pay biggest price':

'This is why our govt will not be seeking to impose reciprocal tariffs'.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA FAGGOTS

Natural resources.

I don’t want any of our food getting exported so don’t give a fuck.

Based. Remember a couple of christmases ago when China embargoed Australian rock lobster and spiny crayfish imports and suddenly they were $12-$16 at Colesworths instead of $25+?
Were also about to see a massive jump in red meat prices due to the flooding in NSW and QLD so these tariffs will theoretically help keep domestic beef and sheep meat prices down.

sorry bros we need to raise money for israel

You Algerians sure are a funny bunch.

New Zealand shouldnt even be a country. They belong to Australia, make it so.

at least you don't have a grocery cartel like canada who would just conspire to keep prices high or even increase them instead

That’s just cope.
t. Run 200 head of organic Angus

Yeah because eating ass is what Americans love to do.

yes we do, and the liberal (conservative government) protects them

Buy. The. Fucking. Beef!
What do you retarded niggers not understand?

He also stole $500m.
He's sitting in his office right now. Laughing.

just think with all that surplus beef you can make eating it mandatory and all your jeets will self deport

muh 10%!

c'mon 10% is nothing

It's kind of meaningless, even if the USA dumps beef here no one will buy it. If they do try it they won't try it again.

We actually do have something of a cartel although they’re running margins of about 2.4% profit which is insanely low for a functional duopoly.

at least you don't have a grocery cartel

That might be the funniest shit i've read in a while.

This post is a part of his daily feed. He spends 1 minute looking at it. Laughs. says I love Australians out loud. Then he says increase the tariffs by 5%.

he claims VAT is a tarrif

Fuckin druggo

You're getting the lightest tariff available. Those fucking thirdies are getting hit with 50%. You're welcome.

why are commonwealth countries such kikes with food prices

Neolib retards argue hurr durr we produce 3x our population of food but conveniently ignore top soil erosion. If in any given year we exports half our production that’s literally a future year of food capacity stolen from our kids and grandkids.

seafood

I’m in my 40s and have literally watched in my lifetime it go from an affordable food too a luxury. Circling back to my prior point my grandkids will probably never know what a rock lobster is so some chinaman can have one today.

We will not respond to US tariffs in kind - Anthony Albanese

Lmao
With Jews you lose.

It would help if we had a PM that could maybe talk to him by phone. He ghosts Albo which is pretty funny.

kekk

Fuck off election tourist. God I hate you fags. You don’t even realise how easy you are to spot.

naw. had this company that sells "American farm goods" only to find out it was aussie meat. it was terrible.

good. fuck that nigger albo. and im also of italian descent

why are commonwealth countries such kikes with food prices

Because we allow american corporations to operate in Aus.

naw. your cows are simply inferior.
you tend to follow our lead. you'll eat twice the ass we do to prove a point.

'My advice to every country right now is DO NOT retaliate... if you do, there will be escalation' - Treasury Sec. Bessent on Trump's tariffs

better than the alternative I suppose

Aussie cowboys btfo

Aus MIGAtards like you need to unironically kill yourself. Absolutely astounding how you want to lick seppo boots like a pajeet.

yeah aussies could only wish abos were productive at literally anything except drinking and sniffing petrol

His slut mum went on a cruise ship and got sprogged in by the Italian waiter.

pic rel

His dad on the left and mum on the far right. How big of a slut do you have to be to go on a cruise and get knocked up by the waiter.

cows

You eat steers retard. You breed cows.

I'm sorry. anyway, your cows are literally shit teir meat.

oh wow. i thought his father was an italian waiter living in australia. jfc what a whore

I don’t want any foreign trade retard. Go back to work for Frank Lowy.

your first mistake was trusting americans, they always ALWAYS will fuck you over no matter what.

VAT is a gayer version of a tariff
The fact that you don't think so or straight up don't know is really awful

I like you. The abowaffen will get you last.

Wrong stupid Kangaroo-fucking nigger, you have 10% tariffs on us and so we have applied the exact same rate to you

10%

it's fucking nothing. I wish more countries would tariff us, we were at our peak when we produced for our domestic market

abos

>doing anything

I'm not worried. I have a can of gas.

or whatever gay shit you call it.

It's worse

Literal jeet brained seppo semen slurper

australia is a sad story. you guys had literally everything. but then decided to destroy your country anyways?? it doesnt make sense

nooo he should justify every single country line by line

you're getting off easy nigel

Fuck off jew.

I can’t wait for my cheap huawei phone.

remove your GST and you're good

it doesnt make sense

((()))

he thinks we send our best beef to the US

Our best export beef goes to China, Japan and Indonesia. Most of the beef we export to the USA ends up in McDonalds sausage and hamburger/cheeseburger patties.
Which company was that?

You australians have constantly spammed anti-Trump shit

I don't know if its your Chinese overlords or what but I swear to God the majority of anti-Trump posts I see here have your shit flag next to it

So Good
Suck it down you aussie abo chink bogan fucks

Tell Xi to lick my hairy sack

or whatever gay shit you call it.

Northern Territory Tea

some bullshit like farm fresh i believe. it marketed itself as an American product, but it turns out they were sending aussie meat instead. terrible. now I got a different source, which actually does come from maine. best fucking steaks I've ever had. they even send pictures of the cows you're eating or the crops you chose.

Do Americans really think people actually want to buy their diseased, chemical flooded beef?

Our downfall has the same root cause as that of the USA. We didn’t listen to Hitler’s warnings and opened our hearts and nations to a race of destructive parasites who are biologically incapable of not destroying their hosts.

that's pretty good. I prefer abo koolaid.

I DONT SNIFF THAT CHEAP VENEZUELAN SHIT. I ONLY SNIFF PREMIUM CANADIAN PETROL YOU FUCKING BIGOT.

So what you are a tiny economy. Time to turn to China.

Sorry but we enjoy not paying absolute retard levels of pricing for pharmaceutical products

Jews are the eternal victims and Americans are mostly a jew hive mind

The US needs to raise more beef cattle. Our head of cattle is very low right now. /pol should be breeding heifers.

Next time you're sailing your gay little warships around our end of the pacific, WATCH THE FUCK OUT yankee pooftas

Our president doesn't know where the fuck his big mac meat comes from.

you don't need to buy it, just remove the markup and if it's never bought then the stores will figure things out

yea. Australia has tons of usable land with a small population, a white educated innovative populace, physical isolation/protection. tons of natural resources. wow.

Good get fucked

How are we exporting all this beef if we hardly have any cows.

Oh, so you can’t actually name it or point to a corporate website or post literally anything else that proves it happened.
Guess we’ll just have to take your word for it, right down your claims of poor quality.
Funny how the rest of the world loves our beef. I guess the couple of pounds of it you encountered is absolutely the same quality as the other 350,000 metric tons the US has been importing every year.

OK.

seppo is full of shit

Pottery.

You australians have constantly spammed anti-Trump shit

You'll have to forgive us, we're an incredibly anti-semitic cuntry.

australia isn't allowed to raise revenue through a VAT like every other country on the planet with a functioning economy

We are a sovereign nation, this isn't an economic decision by Trump, it is a political one. This will spell the end of US economic domination. It might be different if Trump was starting from a position of strength, but with the insane debt to GDP ratio and the rise of other economies, this is the nail in the coffin for US hegemony and its racing straight to the grave.

get told by aussies itt they don't send us the good stuff

"prove it was a bad batch!"

pick one.

Fuck off Mossad, tell the truth about Australia. That is spends 50 billion on NDIS(money for the fucking retards) they spend more on spastics than on the defense budget, schooling, medicare etc

The funny thing is that most Americans eat Australian beef every day, Macca's buys most it for their burgers which they blend with US beef which tastes like literal shit by itself. It's all very strange because It's a US company that imports our beef into the USA, it's not like they can set up an Australian beef factory in the USA.

10% extra? To see americans humiliate themselves for 3 years?
I'll take it. Everyday is a fucking blessing from here on.

us meat supply is tained

>majority of our meat is now Australian apparently

hmm... maybe it's you guys?

Aldi here has sold (might still?) organic grass fed beef ..it comes from the US/Uruguay or Australia ..i've bought it several times. Tastes fine.

We banned importing American beef because it was all infested with mad cow disease 20 years ago

Sorry cunt, your anecdotes and selective memory aren't going to cut it, you'd have better luck trying to grow foreskins than beef in your big mac farms.

Someone explained it very clearly in a thread recently -
-Trump and Australia had a very specific economic deal
-The deal was Trump would not put tarrifs on us as long as we didn't break this one specific promise
-We broke it.

The end.

Where does Japan even have the space to raise cows?

Our whitetail deer population is full of CWD.

20 years ago

that's nice. I'm talking about right now.

as long as we didn't break this one specific promise

what would that be?

It's simple
If the US has a trade surplus with your country you get a gentle 10% tariff rate
There was next to zero though put in these "precise and targeted" tariffs
x.com/orthonormalist/status/1907545265818751037
Art of the deal or something

it doesnt make sense

We got infiltrated by the same foreign agents as you.

Not my problem, your apples are gross so I can some in autumn because fuck you stupid.

Why would I eat riceburner "beef" when I can eat Aberdeen Angus? Why do I care about fat marbling when Aberdeen Angus is superior in every reguard?

Once you're on NDIS you can milk the government out of anything.
If you want an exotic, rare pet bird you can get one and they will pay for it. I'm not even kidding.

Your tax dollars, right now, are literally paying for some fat lazy woman who doesn't want to work's "THERAPY BIRD".

Across the road, single Chinese lady paid $120k (agent fees, medicals, application etc) for both her parents to come here. They now live in housing Commission, father developed multiple health issues and is now on the NDIS - $185k per year plan, mother refuses to learn English and therefore can't work, she gets a carers pension to match his disability pension

Thank you friend. Now I will move to Australia as an Autistic Man so I can get a Fish Tank full of Therapy Cales.

Most of the population live in pods in the big cities so the rural areas have plenty of space for growing crops/cows. I think wagyu is overrated.

Where does Japan even have the space to raise cows?

They raise like 1 cow that's top shelf then call it a day. iirc they have about 10X less beef cattle than we do. Still a lot of cows for a little island.

Why would I eat riceburner "beef"

Maybe you want a break from all the curry and paki cum? My point was that US beef is world renown for being shit and only suitable for big macs and dog food. Assuming of course you hate your dog.

delusional

Fuck you Bruce, it was all of your shitpost that caused this.

According to AI I am mostly White/Finnic, Indigenous South American with a splash of Tasmanian Aboriginal.

how did you misspell

objectively correct

in your post?

I had a tbone at a steakhouse last weekend and for dog food it was delicious. If you go to texas roadhouse it's probably pretty shit meat.

I aspire to Cenno funded Fish.

I'm not doing the needful Gagdeep

prob be good for australia in the end if all other nations say fuck USA, as they'll put reciprocal tariffs on US and therefore look or alternative markets.

US beef is insanely cheap here in Korea, half the price of Korean beef and 30% less than Australian beef.

Where's me taxpayer funded Fishtank?
Pay up Ytie!

i'll thirdy your fat ass mum, and your retarded dad.

As previously stated, most of it is low quality destined for the breakfast patty market. If you were getting cuts then it would have been better quality stuff, as good quality beef doesn’t end up on a McMuffin when it can command a better price as a steak.
Your anecdote of poor quality is (if even true) flawed in several respects:
-Small sample size
-Obvious bias
-Fails to control for variables
-Zero evidence supplied
Now don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying you’re necessarily incorrect. What I am saying is that you’re a bullshiiting liar.

Sugar cane maybe? I cant think of enything els, seems you guys are fine

Bro you can literally buy a Japanese farm for about $500, their population crash means they have hundreds, if not thousands, of abandoned farms and villages.

Fishtank... Now!

How many feedlots are in Australia?
There are approximately 400 accredited feedlots across Australia. The majority are concentrated in Queensland and New South Wales. Small feedlots may only have the capacity to house a few hundred cattle, while the largest, Mort & Co.’s Grassdale Feedlot, can hold more than 70,000 animals.

In 2022, 46% of all Australian cattle spent part of their lives confined to a feedlot. An overwhelming majority (80%) of beef sold in Australia comes from animals who finished their lives on feedlots. For perspective, this means that almost every burger, package of mince, wagyu product, and a substantial percentage of steak sold in Australia come from feedlotted animals.

Remember when the news broke that tards were getting prostitutes with NDIS money?

How did I miss this?

10% to match your 10%, we'll put our delicious beef in your belly m8

Because you are gay

The United States of America is a brown 3rd world country run by jewish gangsters. You need to stop thinking of it as your friend, ally, even as part of the same civilization. The USA is just as foreign and hostile to you as China.

I've never seen American beef anywhere here.

The data being presented to you by your head of state is wrong

source?

just trust me bro

Trump should bump it up to 20% for you cunts

I live in rural Tasmania and get a quarter of a beast, grass-fed and not feedlotted, about once a year. I get the local butcher to hang it for about three weeks before we break it up. Costs me about 15% more than supermarket prices but it’s worth it for rich tasty beef that doesn’t piss water everywhere when you fry it. Feels good man

I've never seen American beef anywhere here.

Met a roastie from florida with the biggest fucking beef flaps i've ever seen, full fucking dumbo ears damn near down to her knees. 100% had taken every nigger dick in the US but hadn't been properly stretched out until she came down here.

You probably forgot to buy the licence.

Bro I love Australia. I have so many good Aussie friends and peopleI I admire from Australia. That's one stupid move made by Trump. Australia is cool as fuck. I'm sorry Trump is being a dick to you guys. You Aussies don't deserve this crap at all! I would travel across the Pacific to help Australians out any day. We helped each other out during the Wildfires and have always had a close relationship. Fuck Trump for this. Australians are so cool, kind, hospitable, laid back and easy going. Hope I can visit soon someday.

Full fucking dumbo ears damn near down to her knees

Fucking spit my coffee everywhere, almost choked.

The effect is the same

No, the effect is the opposite. GST applies equally to domestic and imported goods.
Tariffs only apply on imports, favoring domestic goods.

I've seen wagyu from Australia and New Zealand here

We'll still keep buying Bauxite from you

Fucking spit my coffee everywhere, almost choked.

Yeah that was my reaction when she drew back the curtains for the big show.

We'll still keep buying Bauxite from you

And we'll keep buying gold from you because apparently you're allergic to gold and us having the worlds largest gold ore reserves just isn't fucking enough. The fucking state of the cunts that run our countries.

all this cope cuz someone didn't like their steak

goddamn. you simply cannot accept that not every cut you sell is good. I don't get the logic:

yes you generally get the shitty meat

but that doesn't mean the real cuts are shitty

as if the previously established somewhat fraudulent business was getting the absolute best cuts, somehow, while also lying about using locally produced products. your logic simply eludes me, sir.

Australia has not allowed imports of uncooked US beef for more than two decades due to concerns about mad cow disease.

Watch out, it's mr source dude trust me I can't remember can you repeat the question with another lying faggot take from his drooling mad cow mcmouth.

10% is the minimum tariff he put on any country, so Australia got the minimum tariff. It really doesn't matter that much because we import far more from the USA than we export to the USA. Some specific sectors might feel pressure because of it but it's no big deal. The main problem for Australia is we have "indirect" exports, such as we export iron ore to Japan and China, and they produce goods which are then tariffed. So, the problem for Australia is that trade restrictions will reduce the overall level of trade in the global economy and reduce the overall productivity of the global economy, thereby reducing demand for Australian raw resources. But there's probably going to be inflation or stagflation which would increase the pricing power of raw resources anyway.

this assmad about steak

lmao! it was shit. get over it. you fucked up.

you can keep your juiced beef kek we dont give a fuck

I got 8 of you kangaroo-fucking, koala iq having, gas sniffing, centralink abusing, abo worshipping, digeridoo deep throating, bogan outback niggers telling me otherwise.

Did someone say referendum?

Ahahaha I don't give a fuck about what you eat, I mean fuck you feed your pigs literal plastic and think the food pyramid is comprised entirely of corn syrup, it's just funny watching you squirm like a dindu nuffin yid for a dozen posts because you can't substantiate your bullshit.

I'll just refer you to
thank you for understanding my laziness.

your beef is ass by the way.

Says the faggot that enjoys yellow fat

STUPID KANGAROONIGS
You will eat our beef, processed meat and corn syrup.

Get over it Trump basically owns u rooniggers now

Australian beef is beyond all doubt the best in the world. And the little cucks down there will never experience it because they export the good stuff and keep the b grade shit for themselves.

So can I still buy shit from there?

This is how Trumpworld is with everything. The only policy that gets done is pre-planned to benefit jews, e.g. in term 1, the only thing that actually happened was the tax cut (prewritten by congress and lobbyists) and all the israeli concessions (recognizing golan, jerusalem as capital, not discouraging settlers, etc.) and arming ukraine while tearing up peace treaties (glowie/pentagon pre-planned).

When it comes to stuff like deportations or tariffs that could benefit workers or immigration, its amateur hour. Like, with no joke to any NEET or service job guy reading this, a random analyst at any financial firm could have done a better job at reciprocal tariffs than to do MIN(%trade deficit / 2, 10%). How are you moving trillions of dollars of gross trade to flow across the earth differently when the mechanism and details were clearly afterthoughts?

If trump announced a war on, I dont know, brazil, but then he's talking about troops making landfall in Liberia (africa), would you question the seriousness of the plan to invade brazil?

I.e. my thesis is that this was so poorly thought out because they dont intend for them to stay for long.

There is a reason why everyone has been complaining about the US for many decades.

Oh fuck off. You ain't shit.

you will buy the US beef that is currently infected with a disease and eat it, and you will love it

Your shithole is Chinese owned and can be used to bypass tariffs

Diplomacy is only among peers. Get a non lesbianism navy or stfu

Sorry, Australia bro. Trump is a retard.

You guys are chronically retarded, it's like an epidemic of retardation
King retard says something and all the retarded serfs lap it up without any critical thought or research

Don't worry they'll ritual suicide when Dutton gets mogged by faggy albo

That's rich coming from somebody posting on Anon Babble.

This is correct, and it's the same reason Mexico all the way down are getting shit on to. Don't blame the USA, blame YOUR LEADERS.

Our leaders destroyed this country in an attempt to emulate the US lmao

My computer parts come from Taiwan and I eat deenz

We're sending special forces to train an emu guerilla force to overthrow you if you don't consneed.

Stockmen*

who gives a fuck. US importers pay the tariff anyway. if could be 9001% and it would have literally no effect on prices here

My one jar of Vegemite I buy every few months.

On an unrelated note, I wish we imported more Australian products. Love me some Vegemite, Bundaberg, Tim Tams, etc. Idk why most Americans can't get into food from other countries, especially Commonwealth nations. Not enough corn syrup and Red 40 I guess.

Japan has a 25% import tariff and they manage to transport and sell Australian beef for cheaper than what we pay at our own supermarkets.

It's the only way they can get grass fed beef. All the rest of their food is pure slop.

Hey you got 10% stop whining.

This will spell the end of US economic domination. It might be different if Trump was starting from a position of strength, but with the insane debt to GDP ratio and the rise of other economies, this is the nail in the coffin for US hegemony and its racing straight to the grave.

See Picrel

3 more years of this gold
Everyday is Christmas!

It's still gettable if you know where to go.
A mate of mine drove 3 hours to essentially buy an entire cow. It was the best smoked meat I've ever had.
I share the same view as you when it comes to seafood, though.

The Chinese don't produce beef you fuckwit

Oil protest at the American embassy, bring your barbecue.

The tariffs apply to your beef too, João

Such as?

Iron and aluminium ore

that's why they own all our prime farmland

trump hates australia and wants us chink raped

Sugar cane

My beef is safe and non circumcised, bong.
Maybe next time you'll ask the person lying with you in bed the same question.

You’re a proxy for chink exports. We see through the bullshit.
Now fuck off you stupid bitch.

Bananas, avocado, cafeïne

Rural Auschads know. You raise your own grass fed beef from calf to table. Get the mobile Butcher out to slaughter it and bobs your uncle. No cucked rubbish 3 string meat that Indonesia and the Chows rejected.

We will dump American Beef into the Sydney Harbour.

Probably only feeding a single mutt family.

The mutt cries out as he strikes you

This thread is right. The math for the “tariffs” is just completely bogus. It’s not based on tariffs but trade deficits for some retarded reason.
And for good measure they just slapped on a 10% tariff to any country the US has a trade surplus with (regardless of tariffs) because why not?

while exporting over $1 billion

how many cows are you killing over there you fucking sick fucks ?

kek
BASED ORANGE MAN!

Oh shit

I'm not sure if its fair for Trump to try to force Australia to feed our beef to all those 1/2 abo 1/2 British(Australian) children they have running around over there.

I don't mind paying ten percent more for kangaroo steaks.

I just wish he would be more forthright with his strategy and desires.

It's because our trade partners have been talking about crashing the USD and embracing China after trillions of tax dollars spent in aid over decades. We know we're going to get stabbed and left to die, so we have to get ahead of it and get what we can before it happens.

We have endless feilds of fucking cows, why would we buy beef?

we have plenty of non-diseased beef over here already
it's not a winning strategy to try and break our biosecurity which is basically the only good thing we have left

it's a de facto tarriff on china
sorry cunts, it's nothing personnel

The marbling in the beef are completely different. I'm not a fan of the hard fat in Australian beef. It doesn't render well.

Based. American beef is feedlot garbage.
That's why they need to start trade wars to get people to buy it.

kek

If you don't eat your steaks blue, it's because they're shit.

captain tones dabbing on the yanks

fucking lmao
fucking saved

Under the Australia-US Free Trade Agreement most tariffs were removed on US imports, but Howard cucked seriously hard to the US on the deal as it allowed the US to maintain quotas and tariffs on Australian imports to protect their inefficient and subsidised US industries.
We also extended copyright to satisfy the Paedowood jews.
On the plus side though, it makes it easy for us to go and work in the US, which I did for several years and made serious bank working for Tim Apple and Melon Tusk.
But yeah, Trump is calling GST/VAT a tariff, which is retarded because the US has sales taxes as well, just that they're levied at a sub-national at varying rates to varying items. Always annoyed me that you can't tell if displayed prices in the US are tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive. Some stores would include tax, most wouldn't.
The US also has large barriers to trade as well - I'm part owner of a business that exports to the US and it's a nightmare of red-tape with federal and state regulations that vary wildly between states.

It applies to all goods and services including domestic ones so it does not put imports at a disadvantage in the market.

I guess where Trump has a point is that exports are GST-exempt. If you're an exporter, you don't charge GST on what you're selling overseas, but are still able to claim the input credits paid on what went into producing the exported goods. Not sure if that's how it works in all other countries with GST/VATs.
Overall though, what else did our government expect by leaving that utter shitcunt Kevin Rudd as our ambassador? He's publicly heaped shit on Trump for years.

Cleveland Mark Blakemore is writing a book about why the United States should annex Australia. If that book reaches Donald Trump's desk, then it's over for Australian sovereignty.

I’m fangin’ for the day Trump rolls over us like a wave, slaps a MAGA hat on my head, gives me a $300 voucher to Palmetto State Armory, and tells me it’s open season on communists and faggots.

Same

We have sovereignty?

he should write it about stones of arnhem instead
is he still going through his texan cowboy phase? havent kept up with him on the codex right a bit.

'Rump'

Irrelevant game designer from the 1980s who had a mental break and now writes about politics

who cares?

Why are we getting mad about this? This looks fair.

Yeah, probably just lost about 100k head of cattle with Qld flooding it would be good to have some negative pressure on meat prices.

Australia applies no tariffs to the US. The US claims the tariffs are reciprocal, yet that would only be true if Australia applied a 10% tariff to the US, which we don't. We are supposedly the US's closest ally aside from Israel. Why are we getting any tariffs applied at all?

So make them reciprocal. A 10% tariff on US goods is fine by me.

i would join that army of emus williingly. and i'd adapt to their way of life. i promise such

The point is, why were tariffs levelled at us in the first place? We're supposed to be allies and we have a free-trade agreement that makes imposition of tariffs illegal. So just because Trump wants to illegally break our FTA, doesn't mean we should lower ourselves to that level too.

US beef that is currently infected with a disease

Really.

Australia has had a ban on importing US beef since 2003, after the US experienced an outbreak of mad cow disease.

So because we actually TEST for it and find spontaneously-arising cases once every couple of years, you refuse to buy any? Meanwhile, you refuse to test your own and just sell your CJD-inducing cow cuts to whoever is dumb enough to buy them.

God I hate high road faggots. Just do what needs to be done instead of whining about "stooping to their level". Actual fucking scrubs that hamstring themselves so they can feel superior for adhering to made up rules.

Tariffing the country we currently rely on for defence would be pretty fucking dumb. Good thing you aren't in control of the government.

You have no spine and should be prepared for a future where anyone with even an ounce of spirit will walk all over you. You've already surrendered mentally and have nothing to add this conversation except for increasingly shrill whining.

Um it says 10% on the chart.

welcome to the club bud

a faggot by any other name is still a faggot

We just don't like your beef. Corn-fed crap with no traceability.

This, plus we were being naughty. There on't be any reciprocal tariffs, Albanese didn't even know anything about the beef situation, he might as well not even be there.

Of course Albanese knew about the beef. Rudd has been in DC negotiating directly with Lutnick for weeks now. kevinrudd.com/media/ambassador-kevin-rudd-discusses-us-tariffs-abc-730

Idiocracy was a prophecy

The first he knew of it was from Trump this morning, Trump won't even take his calls never mind talk to Krudd.
He was playing games with the livelihoods of Australians, hoping Trump would impose tariffs on pharmaceuticals and all sorts, he's done nothing to prevent it.

How are you unironically this dumb man? He's been talking about beef and pharma tariffs for weeks now. Pic related, the government was already anticipating beef tariffs on March 16. Stop watching Sky News you drongo

election tourist

astroturfing auspol is a meme when we get to vote between centre-left fiscal conservatism and centre-right fiscal conservatism with a bit of religion and idpol sprinkled in
no-one's paying money to shill for either party when we have preferential voting lmao

a disease

doesn't name it

lies

why did a JIDF member use the aussie flag and make this thread?

in the news this morning:

horrific flooding in queensland has drowned so much livestock meat prices will go up

trumps tariffs will push meat prices down and hurt farmers

seems fine to me

the gst is a tariff

this retardation genuinely annoys me

He won't talk to Albanese as long as he is being a little communist globalist wog and bringing in anti free speech laws, it's not about beef, steel or aluminium, it's about your little wog stopping being a little communist cunt.

You are so fucking dumb man. Rudd has basically been living in the White House for the past few months. He's the only reason we ended up with 10% tariffs and not 20-30% like everyone else.

noooo you can't just heckin tarif all the boomer globohomo companies selling off Ausrtalian one piece at a time while importing billions of jeets that breed like rats to work for below min wage

maybe this will force Australia to develop something better then the a retarded African-tier economy we currently have and invest more in it's people and their future instead of easy profit

We're extremely close allies with the US, and they rely enormously on us for their national security. Tariffing us is just dumb.

develop something better then the a retarded African-tier economy we currently have

I agree but not going to happen. US is a tiny part of our exports. It doesn't affect us nearly badly enough to actually develop some sophisticated industry, instead of just digging shit out of the ground and selling it.

Rudd has basically been living in the White House for the past few months.

They wouldn't let that fuckwit anywhere near the White house, he's probably been negotiating with actors using a hidden camera for laughs.
>He's the only reason we ended up with 10% tariffs.
You know we negotiated an FTA with the USA years and years ago right? For them to impose tariffs on us at all is a huge slap in the face, you and your PM still don't fucking get it.

everybody with a negative trade deficit to the USA got 10%

it's not a tarrif when WE do it GOY!!!

buy MORE of our goy slop FOR NO REASON

no

this is why he called Canada nasty
he's mentally retarded and demented, the west's very own Mao, with his boomer red guard.

good, the ban on importing US beef means i can't buy proper american chili.

Tariffing us is just dumb.

Why are you tariffing us then?

we can only get this shit that uses pork instead.

We're not, stop believing everything Trump says at face value you unbelievable retard. Australia imposes 0% tariffs on the US. We even have a free trade agreement that Trump has just illegally broken

We're extremely close allies with the US, and they rely enormously on us for their national security. Tariffing us is just dumb.

lol, lmao even. The US gov and elites don't give a flying fuck about Australia and the Australians who think we have some kind of special bond are going to be the ones that get us mixed up in a war with the Chinks on the US's behalf only for them to run back to their side of the world leaving us to get wrecked.
Australia needs to harden up and become more independent like what we used to be before the boomers sold us out to the globohomo to enrich themselves and we need to do it quick while we still have a majority whiteoid population.

That chili isn't too bad though. I get the hotter version but even that is pretty mild. Better alternatives would be appreciated.

I mean, the chart says 10%. The President of the United states thinks the US is being tariffed at 10%. What would cause the President of the United States to think such an outrageous thing if it wasn't true?

Being the biggest market is 90% of the game. You lost to begin with.

We have several bilateral defence and trade agreements with them. We have no closer ties with any other country. We were the US's closest partner aside from Israel prior to Trump's second term. The entire US global intelligence network relies on Pine Gap in Australia. Stop being such a cynical faggot, it doesn't make you cool or smart

You can tax your own goods not US goods. Take the GST off US goods, keep it on your own. There you go, fair. Oh wait Australia makes nothing except Marmite and Fosters.

Everyone is getting tariffed at 10% minimum, regardless whether they tariff the US or not. Trump is lying about Australia tariffing the US at 10% to justify imposing a 'reciprocal' tariff, when it is not actually reciprocal.

hmm

we send them thr best steak too we're left with the shit hope that changes

GST applies to local and foreign goods alike. It doesn't advantage local goods over foreign goods, therefore it doesn't constitute a 'trade barrier'. Taking it off US goods only would disadvantage local goods to the benefit of US goods which would be ridiculous. It would be effectively reverse-tariffing ourselves.

The US doesnt care. Take it off the US goods and tax your own making yours sell less than foreign, or get tariffed. Thats your choice. Theres no discussion, thats the options.

diseased beef

fuck off
who the fuck cares about trade with Australia
you're China's bitch now

remove the memeflag, 'patriot'.
show us what's underneath

Alas it is I, your mortal enemy.

Yeah no. Just because the US doesn't understand how GST and VAT works is not our problem. The US isn't even a large trading partner of ours, unlike you.

This is going to put a dent into my kangaroo meat Budget.

Nigger you have to buy your milk in plastic bags because your government puts a 300% tariff on US dairy.

Your tariffs on us are literally keeping you eating shit that couldn't compete with US imports. Then you act like you're a victim in all this and start gushing about how much you love the globalist central banker they appointed to be your PM. I fucking hate leafs.

(groan) sweet jesus

Well then you have made your choice, tariffs!
Canada has a GST too and I hope they have to scrap it, because Im not a cuck like you and I dont like paying niggers with the only tax they can actually get out of me. Taxes on goods and services.

We were the US's closest partner

We are not a partner, we are their vassal and we have been since the 1960s.

This is silly. The US is allowed to build bases and facilities here because it benefits us enormously and has allowed a generous social welfare state and an underfunded military, without putting us at risk. It benefits them by allowing them to project power into the pacific and to access satellites that aren't contactable from the US mainland via Pine Gap. The relationship is mutually beneficial, or was until Trump 2.0.

Bessent said all the tariffs are already at max levels and up to negotiation. just make a "deal" to buy more onions or whatever you actually need anyways and the 10% will be gone in a month. the reason Trump put tariffs on everybody was to make sure he can easily lift some of the tariffs without losing face.

He actually warned everyone not to retaliate otherwise they would be increased, knowing full well everyone is about to retaliate because that's how trade wars work. Everything is about to get substantially more expensive in the US.

That's rough. Roo is really good meat. Is it available enough to stockpile and freeze some?
