"The Customs Group is developing a customs and border modernisation agenda to enhance service delivery, improve compliance and border protection, and better  detect illicit trade. This agenda seeks to reduce red tape for Australian businesses and ensure trade is seamless, digital and secure. We expect the Government will consider this agenda next year. We will continue progressing short to medium term trade initiatives. For example, we are currently working with New Zealand Customs Service to undertake a live digital trial of a secure trade lane with trusted businesses by June 2020."

Weekly Market Commentary
Markets fizzled out to close the week flat but up for the week and down for the month.
