      Perhaps he meant to write 'Bikies', although I'm not sure how effective our bikie gangs are at crossing water

      • I think he meant the benefits and cons for us…
        So maybe he was pondering how effective the Yakuza are at crossing the waters to us.

        You never know, they can't seem to find an airplane in the ocean? :(

  • Beef prices going to go up?

    Whale meat prices are definitely going up :(

    We're told we have cheap seafood, because we have such an abundance, in reality our seafood is very expensive and we get lower quality. The best seafood is sent overseas.

    Anyone eaten those giant, 2 hand size oysters? Amazing taste. The person who got it for us knew someone in the industry.

    I hope this doesn't screw up beef.

  • Bikes are baik! :)

    I doubt it'll make much difference to prices here, despite all the fluff being spewed by politicians.
    Might reduce price rises when the dollar drops to "normal" levels.

    Slightly good news for Exporters, but Japan still has a bunch of hurdles to jump to access their markets.

  • Sounds like sellers and consumers will benefit from this. From an economic point of view free trade is usually always better off for the nation overall.

  • Mew?
