Australia might demand a “better deal” on visas as part of any post-Brexit trade pact with Britain, according to the country’s top envoy to the U.K.
“We might throw into the mix -- and this might be a little contentious -- the fact that we want a better deal on visas,” High Commissioner Alexander Downer said in an interview in which he said Australia would only be interested in a “high-quality” trade accord once the U.K. leaves the European Union.
