Wondering what leverage in negotiations looks like? Australia's new FTA with the EU provides 16,830 tonnes of tariff free access for beef. Australia's FTA with the UK, completed with a desperate Johnson administration, provided 35,000 tonnes tariff free, rising to unlimited over 15 years.

Maybe the Johnson Government thought that the British public may also be better off if they had decent access to inexpensive beef?

They manifestly did not because they pushed back on this very hard until the last minute. Also, the FTA has been in place for years. Does your beef feel inexpensive?
