Australia's trade minister presses Opposition to back EU trade deal

Original: ‘The deal is done’: Australia’s trade minister ramps up pressure on Opposition over EU free trade deal

Australia's trade minister says the long-negotiated free trade agreement with the European Union is effectively settled, declaring 'the deal is done' in a push to force the federal Opposition to drop its resistance and support ratification. The comments ramp up political pressure in Canberra, with the government framing the pact as settled and the Opposition facing questions over whether it will back it.

Why now: A senior minister's public push has put the EU trade deal at the centre of Australia's domestic political debate.
