the price isn't the issue, it's the delicate dedication it took to produce that crown melon. I am not so sure Australia comprehends the amount of dedication that it takes to produce one of these melons.
This isn't a typical melon like watermelons or pumpkins, this was hand breed, hand raised, hand nurtured, environment controlled, etc.. This top of the top fruit.
A Greece equivalence, it's as if Persephone herself gifts you a sacred pomegranate, or if Xi Jiping hands you an immortality peach.

This only shows to me there will be no military trust between the two, but the business partners may expat.
