The coalition government has secured a free trade deal with South Korea, the
first of three it pledged to seal in its first 12 months in power.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott says Trade Minister Andrew Robb brought the
negotiations with Australia's fourth-largest trading partner to a successful
conclusion this week.
"The conclusion of this free trade agreement will see the delivery of a key
election commitment," Mr Abbott told parliament on Thursday.
As part of the deal, tariffs of up to 300 per cent will be eliminated on
Australian exports such as beef, wheat, sugar, dairy, wine, seafood,
resources and manufactured goods.

Australian automotive suppliers will benefit from the immediate removal of
tariffs as high as eight per cent.
It will also provide new market opportunities for Australian services in
education, telecommunications, as well as financial, accounting and legal
services.
Mr Abbott says independent modelling shows the free trade agreement (FTA)
would be worth $5 billion between 2015 and 2030 and boost the economy by
about $650 million annually after 15 years.
Negotiations for the deal with South Korea started under Labor in March 2009.
It is one of three FTAs Mr Abbott pledged to secure in his first 12 months
as prime minister. He also hopes to sign agreements with Japan and China.
The Korean agreement will be signed and come into operation after domestic
approval processes in both countries.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten says the FTA presents significant
opportunities for Australia.
The National Farmers' Federation says the deal will provide millions of
dollars in export value to farmers.
"While the deal doesn't deliver everything the Australian agricultural
sector had advocated for, it is a strong step towards securing Australia's
important trading future with Korea," federation president Brent Finlay said
in a statement.
Mr Finlay said rice was notably absent from the deal.
The Australian Services Roundtable says the speed with which the government
clinched the deal "augurs well" for the negotiations with Japan and China.
Two-way trade between Australia and South Korea reached $32 billion in 2012.
However, the Australian Manufacturing Union has condemned the agreement with
South Korea as not being in the national interest.
Paul Bastian, the union's national secretary, said the deal would not be
good for Australia's auto-industry.
"The auto-sector is already under pressure," he said in a statement.
"The productivity commission has raised concerns that we already lack an
even playing field." | v******a
