‘The right outcome’: Penny Wong on China lifting barley sanctions on August 5

Foreign Minister Penny Wong says China lifting the barley sanctions on August 5 is “the right outcome” for a lot of Australians.

“We have been notified that China will remove the 80.5 per cent anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Australian barley as of tomorrow, the 5th of August,” she stated in a press convention on Friday.

“This is the right outcome, the right outcome for Australian producers, and the right outcome for Chinese consumers, it affirms the approach – the clam and consistent approach that the Albanese government has taken since we have come to office on these issues.”
