UK, Australia Hold Preliminary Trade Talks on Post-Brexit Deal
                           
Australia and the UK are holding preliminary discussions about a post-Brexit trade deal. 

Australian Trade Minister Steven Ciobo, said the strong historical bonds between the two countries mean talks could be completed quite quickly.
 
 But with the UK unable to sign deals while still in the European Union, he said an agreement is at least two-and-a-half years away.
 
A separate deal between Australia and the EU is at a more advanced stage.
