Summary Many of Australia's agricultural exports face barriers to trade through a combination of border restrictions and domestic support. Removing these barriers is a well-known problem despite the potential gains to all countries. Party of the difficulty of change is the often obscure 'language' and concepts behind the protective devices and the disciplines used to reign them in. Making sense of these concepts and treatment of agricultural trade policy widens understanding by farmers, policymakers and the public alike and should lead to better outcomes
