Since the coalition has landed the Trans Pacific partnership free trade deals, which saw more than 200,000 Australians have got an opportunity to get a job. The government is hopeful that a free-trade deal with the Europe will open-up a market of half a billion people, in an economy worth $22.6 trillion.
