Progressing a free trade deal will be high on the agenda of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull during his three-day visit to India. Two-way trade between Australia and India was worth over $A19 billion in 2015-16, but Turnbull believes there is no reason why it should not be worth a lot more. The major sticking points to striking a free trade deal are seen to be Australia’s wish for greater access to India’s agricultural market and India’s desire for better access to Australia’s labour market.
