experience and passion, a passion shared by his team.

Time is an important aspect of making beautiful things. Patience is key, and watches for example can never be rushed. While some brands make thousands of watches a week, Curtis Australia prefers to handcraft each watch one at a time, so each takes days to complete. It is a method shared by luxury makers such as Rolls Royce, who sensing a kindred spirit with Glenn invited him to be guest speaker at the launch of their new Cullinan SUV. Watches are in solid gold, handcrafted and set with glittering gems by hand. Pens too, in colourful marbled effects enhanced with sterling silver trim are the result of pen maker and jeweller sharing a love of their craft. This philosophy, combined with an imaginative approach to design sees the unique Collections created by this unique, Australian luxury brand. Curtis Australia also creates collections of pieces arranged in themes; a holistic approach designed to help you form your own precious collection. Start with a pendant perhaps, »

MORE CHINA BULLYING

NOW IT’S A BAN ON COTTON AND SEAFOOD!

AUSTRALIA’S COTTON AND SEAFOOD INDUSTRIES ARE BRACING FOR WHAT COULD BE A DEVASTATING BLOW AS IT BECOMES THE LATEST CASUALTY IN THE ESCALATING TRADE TENSIONS WITH CHINA.

Tonnes of live Australian lobsters are stranded on the tarmac at Chinese airports, possibly the latest victims of escalating tensions with our biggest trading partner. Agriculture minister David Littleproud said between 50 and 100 per cent of Australian rock lobsters arriving in China are currently subject to inspection. Chinese authorities say it is over concerns of trace elements of metals. Australian lobster fisheries, already smashed by the coronavirus pandemic, are deeply concerned about what's next. On top of that mills in China are being told to stop buying Australian cotton as speculation grows that a hefty tariff is about to be slapped on the trade. Government sources have told the ABC the cotton industry could face tariffs as high as 40 per cent, a sanction that could make the trade with China unviable. Under China’s current trade rules, the Chinese Government determines how much cotton each mill can import through a quota system. Without the government endorsement, these mills could be forced to pay 40 per cent more to buy Australian cotton. Trade Minister Simon Birmingham has confirmed he’s aware of concerns China might be set to impose changes on the trade and is seeking more information from Australia’s largest trading partner. “China should rule out any use of discriminatory actions against Australian cotton producers,” he said. Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said “We are showing leadership as an Australian Government and are prepared to have that conversation.” The China market accounts for 65 per cent of the cotton grown nationwide. Tensions between Australia and China have escalated this year with tariffs or bans on wine, barley, iron and coal.

SEAFOOD INDUSTRY CALLS OUT FISHY

REGULATIONS

THERE IS SOMETHING FISHY GOING ON IN THE SEAFOOD INDUSTRY REGULATION!

Did you know it is not necessary to nominate the Country of Origin Labelling on seafood you eat in restaurants and cafes? With just 30% of seafood sold in Australian sourced locally it is vital for the local seafood industry to be able to promote its quality produce. The Australian seafood industry wants to see Australian seafood be clearly identified on menus. The industry wants us to be able to order Humpty Doo Barramundi, Tasmanian Salmon or simply Australian Whiting. Australian seafood is a drawcard for consumers and eateries can proudly display it as a badge of honour on their menus. “When you order seafood as your local café or restaurant make sure you ask where the food is sourced. “We want to see country of origin labelling extended to seafood sold in the foodservice sector,” Seafood Industry Australia (SIA) Interim CEO Veronica Papacosta said. In July 2018 it became mandatory for food sold in retail to be labelled with its country »

of origin. However, there was no requirement placed on places like restaurants and cafes. “We know people want to support our Australian seafood producers, but people cannot buy Australian seafood if they can’t tell where it’s from. “The Australian seafood industry has appealed to the government time and time again to make origin labelling mandatory for seafood sold in foodservice, and now we have the opportunity to make this happen. Australians have consistently said they want local seafood labelled as Australian sourced. More than 86,000 consumers have signed petitions asking for it, and two Senate inquiries have called for it. We strongly urge the government to take action. The Minister for Agriculture David Littleproud said. “This report shows consumers’ want clear food labelling and to be informed, and food producers should be listening to that message.” “Australians are more interested in the provenance of their food than ever before, and demand for all Aussiegrown produce is on the rise,” Ms Papacosta said.
