“European Union and Australia agree on text of free trade pact and announce a new defense partnership”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that the European Union and Australia agreed on a free trade pact and announced a new defense partnership is supported by specific web search results referencing an event on March 24, 2026. However, the provided evidence set contains only these web search results and general Wikipedia articles about EU/Australia relations, but lacks corroboration from two or more *independent* news sources reporting this specific agreement and partnership announcement. Therefore, it can only be marked as single_source based on the provided evidence structure.
