They're coming back, mate!

Article Abstract:

US trade relations with Australia and New Zealand prosper despite recent setbacks because of conveniences fostered by commonalities. Although similarities between the three countries such as language, consumer requirements and business style make trading easier, barriers still persist. Carrier rates have recently increased for the first time in two years and the importation of Australian meats has also become a major trade problem. However, despite the problems, Australia and New Zealand still feel closest and most confident with the US as a trading partner.
