well, if those birds have been dumping (maybe shipping USA too much guano?) then protective tariffs are definitely in order!

Actually, this is not stupid.
If they were left out of the deal, I am sure, some entrepreneuring entity would set up an operation on those islands and use them to export to USA tariff free!

My.uber-lib sister posted something on FB about “No tariffs for penguins!!!”
I thought she was trying to be funny. Turns out she wasn’t.
Oh, well.

While the Media is having a laugh over this there is a good reason for doing it.
An unscrupulous Aussie exporter could try and get around the tariffs by marking his goods as being from those islands and not the Australian mainland................

It means that you didn’t read the rest of the posts on the thread before you shot your NeverTrump mouth off.

How much research did the Canuks do when they slapped 300% tariff on imported dairy?

but those territories are Australian and under Australia. The islands are a territory (Territory of Heard Island and McDonald Islands) of Australia administered from Hobart by the Australian Antarctic Division of the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. The administration of the territory is established in the Heard Island and McDonald Islands Act 1953, which places it under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory, with the non-criminal laws of the Australian Capital Territory and the criminal laws of Jervis Bay Territory applying to the Territory
No exporter could get around tariffs as this is under the conditions already put on Australia
