Episode 48: Does Australia Really Need a Statutory Advisory Group?

from Trade Policy Decoded Hosted by IIT / ACITI

In this episode of Trade Policy Decoded, Peter and Pru discuss the Trade and Investment Agreements (Consultation) Bill 2026. The bill seeks to create a new ‘Trade Advisory Group’ and prescribe what can and cannot be included in Australia’s new Free Trade Agreements. The discussion compares what’s proposed in the bill with the starkly different trade stakeholder engagement systems in the EU, US and South Africa. With Australia’s trade agenda rarely requiring legislation tracking this bill through Parliament will be a novel experience for those interested in trade policy.
