Western Australia’s Premier Roger Cook has welcomed the announcement that China will lift its restrictions on the importation of Australian rock lobsters, saying WA’s rock lobsters are the best in the world. The decision was confirmed by Chinese Premier Li Qiang in talks with the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on the sidelines of the ASEAN summit in Laos on Thursday. China’s move to lift its ban on rock lobsters brings to an end four years of trade restrictions that were imposed on $20 billion worth of Australian agricultural exports after the former Coalition government called for an independent inquiry into the source of the COVID-19 pandemic.
