My eyes must be really playing tricks on me. That's how I saw it when I read your original comment! Must have assumed something. I've gone back and seen that of course you are correct.

Exactly. And when do you think the US and Europe will lift those sudsidies? The unfortunate thing is the free trade deals being made at the moment are almost totally designed for the benefit of first world countries. They mainly involve the free flow of money and intellectual property. Guess who's worried about those things. There is a lot of hollerin' and cryin' here about Oz having an FT deal with US while we don't. However sensible people point out that the sort of deal Oz has is completely useless for them and would be even worse for us.
