other aspect to this for the "don't you know who we are???" #brexit brigade is...

...the EU appears to have developed and announced this, and the UK had no idea it was coming.

frankly, this one astonishes me. however, i am sure it is not aimed at the UK, it'll be china, india, etc. to protect the EU industry. far from being a "major player" we're now "collateral damage".

ouch, baby. very ouch.

Senator David Shoebridge @davidshoebridge.bsky.social · 2d

The Federal Government funds 71% of every spit hood put on an Aboriginal child in the NT. It's time to ensure Federal Funding comes with conditions including complying with human rights law!
