Panel Discussion: Australian Trade after Covid-19

Australia is facing its worst trade outlook since the Great Depression. Covid-19 has caused a global economic recession. Lockdowns all over the world have constrained shipping and manufacturing. Global supply chains have been severely disrupted and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future. In the midst of this, China is blocking billions of dollars’ worth of imports from Australia in a move that many observers view as a retaliation to Australian policy.

At our November event Madeleine King MP, Dr Jeffrey Wilson, and Darryl Daisley discussed Australia's current trade outlook, the problems Australian exporters are facing, and what can be done about them.
