Gentlemen: 

It is my grandson, a sound engineer from the United States who was encouraged to accept a position in Australia knowing that LAFTA would help offset the cost of making the move from his home in the U.S.and the salary he would recieve a livable wage. As of July 1st, that will change. 

Was this young man and his family duped into making the very important decision to move half-way across the globe? Did he move to a country that lives up to its commitments? I would not have believed this would happen in Australia. 

What's next? Will the WWII memorials in Canberra, honoring the U.S., be removed? 
Yes, we do take this very personally.
