INDUSTRY'S HOPE FOR MELBOURNE LAND REVIEW
Freight & Trade Alliance/Australian Peak Shippers' spokesman Andrew Crawford said port privatisation was always a risk, particularly for a strong export economy like Victoria. "Any port-related price increases, including rent, will inevitably be passed down to port users (importers and exporters), impacting their competitiveness," Mr Crawford said.
"This has flown on effects for the whole economy.
"It's important that the ESC and other regulators have the power and appetite to regularly review the regime and the appropriateness of port-related pricing."

| Australia is all in favour of free trade unless you are trying to obtain a tariff concession order |
|
| Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) were proud to feature Russell Wiese (Principal, Hunt & Hunt Lawyers) in the Spring 2019 edition of Across Borders. |
|
| "In a world dominated by headlines proclaiming trade wars and increasing US and Chinese tariffs, Australia is seen as a shining example of the benefits of free trade. It is true that when it comes to negotiating free trade agreements, Australia does remove as many barriers as it can. However, there is an increasing trend of making some tariff concessions harder to obtain. In particular, tariff concession orders (TCO) are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain or use with confidence." |
