Unleashing the White Australia virus : Comments

By Chek Ling, published 22/5/2020

It is such a shame that the PM and our Foreign Minister felt the need to goad China.

Political parties in Australia need to enunciate the
values that define them and they must apply these
values to issues that concern the wider groups in
the community.By addressing these issues they can
widen their constituency.

This means communicating the values that motivate a
party's political approach to the issues of the day,
and convincing voters this will improve their lot and
improve the fortunes of those they care about.

Since most Australians care about their country, it also
means showing what this will do for the nation.

Foxy,

The Australia you are speaking to hasn't been around since 1985.

You need to stop living in the past. Half the country can hardly speak sufficient English let alone try to comprehend what you are saying.

If you're lucky the new Australians might let you adopt a Chinese name for yourself.

It's either "accept a dramatic decline in revenue" or lose the freedoms our government is no longer capable of protecting. But, MOST of our trade is with other countries. We don't have to continue helping the likes of Andrew Forrest to make billions. We did fine when China was still a poor country; we can do fine again.

We are not dealing with a partner in a relationship of mutual benefit when it comes to normal bilateral trade relations. The CCP has taken a stance using hegemonic threatening behaviour which undermines the fairness and as such our political leaders will need to address this imbalance with a series of elevating trade threats if this behaviour is to be rectified.

Initially this should involve seeking alternative markets which can significantly reduce the trade reliance on China. Secondly, withdraw our reliance on Chinese products by again seeking alternate fair bilateral trade with market’s uninfluenced by communist or other political regimes that are incompatible with western democratic norms. Thirdly, threaten directly the CCP leadership Australia would consider nationalisation of Chinese owned property and business entities within Australia if current and unethical trade actions are not addressed. This would importantly include the Port of Darwin in the first instance given its vital strategic and military location in a region with a growing international sphere of expansive Chinese tensions primarily being adversely influenced by negative and unilateral activities (freedom of navigation in the South China Sea etc).

The author should consider Chinese political, economic and social relations with Australia need to be maintained at a level which the people of Australia deem acceptable and no more. Any breach, threat, negative influence must be met with direct and proportional responses which negate and override immoral and unethical Chinese behaviour.

Don’t dictate to us, we are your host country and you and your Chinese mates need to understand we make our own rules too and it is you who need to understand this and you and your ilk need to understand and adhere to this without question.

Mr O,

You said that if I'm lucky the new Australians
may let me adopt a new Chinese name for myself?

Funny you should say that - a close Chinese
friend has already given me the name of -
"Daiyu." Because of my dark eyes.

Misopinionated,

"Half the country can hardly speak sufficient English let alone try to comprehend what you are saying."

So which half do you 'belong' to ?

And does that give you extra rights ?
