      If you wish to know what really happened to the Australian Motor Industry then I suggest you hunt down "John Cadogan" on YouTube.

          Your point being? If it's about Britain not having any trade experts, that really is down to the EU controlling all trade matters for the last 47 years. So we hire an Aussie, seems perfectly sensible to me.
          His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

            But Tony Abbott is not a trade expert. The only trade deal he signed was negotiated and agreed by others and before he was PM.

              An Aussie who also has no experience in trade matters...Mind you, he is only an advisor along with these experts:

              Other advisers to the Board of Trade will include former Labour health secretary Patricia Hewitt, ex-Conservative Member of the European Parliament Daniel Hannan and economist and broadcaster Linda Yueh.
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                  Some EU countries are net exporters. Germany and Ireland are two examples. You need to stop blaming others for British failings. Otherwise how will you ever learn?
