One of the first submissions to the Australian UK FTA process.

It's not common in FTA consultations to read outright accusations of the illegal activities of a negotiating country,

Accusations of "extortion" and "demanding money with menaces" even less so.
But to see "extortion" in *two* trade deal submissions is really going some!
When you see "There is doubt that UK authorities can be trusted to keep treaties in good faith", you know you're in trouble.
The letters sent to Australian residents by HMRC were “totally obnoxious and show an underhanded and untrustworthy approach by the UK authorities to their international legal obligations”

– Some people are not happy with us.
And part of this boils down to our digital tax plans, so this is more consistent with the US submissions than it first appears.
