Media bias fact check? Wth, the federal immigration MP when questioned stated there is going to be a free movement of people , not interested in the EU, as there will be no FM of people from the EU to Aus, as for fresh food, flights from Perth are 17 hours direct so are cargo planes , 23 hours straight from Sydney , and prob closer from Brisbane … shows your ignorance, there is a lot in common between the uK and Australia , still a governor who reports to the queen, som legal cases still can be heard in the London high courts, the laws are virtually the same. Even the NSW flag has the st George on it. Loads of items are moved in the worl,d it’s a global world the EU are not the be all and end all … quote as many outlets as you like I will believe federal MP when I hear it out of his mouth over any fact check site… the post was truck drivers could well be allowed to freely move to Australia with no visa requirements after brexit.
Fair comment about the basic law in UK and Aus.
But what you say here
discoman:
the federal immigration MP when questioned stated there is going to be a free movement of people
isn`t what you previously said

it was on sky news here in Australia, that there may free movement of people between uk and here
And do you really think it is a good idea to fly lettuces and tomatoes 23hr across 17,000km?
Burning about 10kgs of fuel per km?
So, 170 tons of paraffin to move 130 tons of goods.
One aircraft for (airport to airport) 5 truck loads of food.
In recent years the UK has imported about £500,000,000 worth of fresh or chilled tomatoes for instance, annually. (Statista)
About £1 per kg wholesale very roughly, gives 500,000 tons a year. Just tomatoes…
It would take more than twenty 747s flying nonstop to keep the UK supplied with fresh tomatoes.
Edit.
By the by, Quantas owns 2 747s, and 11 other, freight aircraft. Half of them already on postal work.
