Did you know there is an online tool for anyone to look up barriers to their products and markets of interest? The WTO facility #ePingAlert is useful for exporters, importers, governments – big and small.

This is a great online tool that I use frequently.

Well the change was made uptown and the Big Man joined the band….From the coastline to the city all the little pretties raised a hand”

10th Avenue Freeze Out, Bruce Springsteen

The Band he joined, Clarence Clemons, was the the best band this planet ever heard playing music, the legendary E Street Band.

“He had the nickname for a reason. He was big in size and in personality” Bruce Springsteen has said.

“He had the nickname for a reason”

He got the nickname Big Man, when he made a powerful entrance at a rock club where Bruce Springsteen played one evening. When he opened the front door, the door leaf detached from the hinges.

“Bruce and I looked at each other and didn’t say anything, we just knew,” Clemons said many years later. “We knew we were the missing links in each other’s lives.”

There has never been a better rock’n roll saxophone player than Clarence Big Man Clemmons.

Australian Border Force reports about a continued success for the Australian Trusted Trader Programme (ATT), one of the most modern and successful programmes and best practice examples in the world.

More than 150 Trusted Traders enjoyed a ‘seat at the table’ with government during the 2019 Australian Trusted Trader (ATT) Symposium in Brisbane. The ATT program reduces red tape for accredited Trusted Traders at the border and expedites the flow of their cargo in and out of Australia. Additional benefits were announced at this year’s Symposium including the Origin Waiver benefit, a Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) with Singapore and an MRA with Taiwan.

We in KGH helped the Department of Immigration and Border Protection and Australuan Border Force to design, develop and implement the ATT. We are very pleased to see how Australian Border Force continues to develop and manage the programme in an outstanding way.
