Mr opinion you wrote -

"There are two Andrews running around at the moment who seem to think we should SIGN UP with the bully, not STAND UP to the bully.

It's a Chinese future for us so you better start getting used to the idea.'

Response - Therefore we should NOT sign up to the bully of any Nation that is not in the interest of our National Security .

Would you like to discuss?

SAINTS,

I'll debate with you:

1. I agree that we should not sign up with any bully;

2. I agree that we should not sign up to anything that jeopardises our national security.

3. China is a bully; Tibet, HK, annexation of South China Sea, threatening Taiwan with invasion.

4. The US has said it would disengage Australia from its inner circle of allies if Victoria signs up to China's BRI.

5. This places Scott Morrison in a real bind, caught between the devil and deep blue sea. Australia has no option to choose between an all-for-America or an all-for-China policy.

Over to you il mio amico. Which road to follow?

An admirable piece which hits many important points.
It's so hard to know the best way forward at present. America is in turmoil, Virus has weakened many potential allies, and China has infiltrated many of our neighbours.

But will our leaders listen and act to limit China's power? Parliament is having a more extended rest break than usual, and our leaders are understandably wrestling with the virus that started in China.
But some MPs are alarmed:

Waverley,

Do you think Daniel Andrews is just joking about signing up to China's belt and Road Initiative, especially with the US saying that it will cut Australia off from its inner circle of allies if he does.

It's a joke isn't it. Right at the last minute Daniel Andrews is going to turn around and do a Ricky Gervasi on us: "April fool! Got yaaa .... you little bastards! You thought I was actually going to sign up the China's BRI didn't you? You little F____rs you!"

I mean it really is just a joke isn't it? Daniel Andrews is really just kidding isn't he?

I know he would make LOUDmouth and the pro-China camp happy if he did but it really is just a joke isn't it.

Mr Opinion

1. I agree
2. I agree
3. I agree
4. No way - will US will lose ties with Australia over China.

I don't know how old you are - but Australia and US alliance will definitely beat ANY China bullying.

Waverley

Just chill for a while.
