Aus $ hurts exporters

Some Tasmanian exporters are feeling the pinch from a strengthening Australian dollar.
The dollar reached a 24 year high of US$0.94 in New York trade overnight.
Tasmanian live seafood exporter, Adrian Cuthbertson, has told ABC Local Radio he has recently taken three cancellations.

"Today for example we had 170 cartons of product going and it's been cut back to 70," he said.
"And whilst they don't say openly you can pretty much bet that the market's slowed because of the exchange rate."
