| Message | We must operate a system that allows us to protect our industries. Whilst we can accept the reciprocal arrangement that allows us to place limitations on those Countries that place tariffs on us, ascribing to the belief that we will not place tariffs on imports from nations that artificially inflate the prices of our goods will only harm our economic productivity flooding our market with cheap imports whilst not allowing our industries to compete. |
