Financial services,

Australia is in bed with China. Mining all the raw materials which China turns into iCrap etc.

We need to be more like Iceland. Financial services, fishing, energy independent.

The country not the budget supermarket.

The reason that the UK won't, or can't, pay the divorce bill is to pay David 'thick as mince and lazy as a toad' Davis's bar bill

Updated your post to reflect the current Vote Leave position.

Brexit Britain's creeping irrelevance

They were the only country to send their bankers to jail after the financial crisis. So quite a good role model actually

They're also a geothermal island of 350k or so. It's easy to say "fishing and energy independent", but a bit harder for the UK to actually put that into practise.

More like Iceland? Fecking hell, the role models you pick

Reduce the population bt >99% and join EFTA? One of those makes sense.

Why should I be happy about living in a country that fecks up creditors?

Not looking so good for Empire 2.0 with its jam centred trade strategy. Even teh Telegraph is starting to give up hope. Soon the only believer will be Diana's ghost.

Brexit Britain's 'creeping irrelevance' to Australia hinted at in foreign policy blueprint

Australia has pledged to bolster ties with a post-Brexit Britain – including signing a free trade deal – but its new long-term foreign policy blueprint appeared to signal London’s “creeping irrelevance” to Canberra.

In a sign of Australia’s shifting priorities, a 136-page foreign policy white paper released by prime minister Malcolm Turnbull in Canberra included no special section on ties with Britain, which received just twelve mentions.

In contrast, the previous white paper in 2003 featured a two-page section highlighting the “alignment of our security interests and our shared values and history” and made 49 mentions of Britain.

James Curran, an expert on Australia’s foreign relations, said the latest white paper was “confirmation” of the rapidly diminishing importance of relations between the two nations.
