Here’s hoping ScoMo’s new consensus with the unions is not what it appears : Comments

By Graham Young, published 28/5/2020

Is Scott Morrison's industrial reform agenda a serious attempt to make industrial change, or is it #ScottyfromMarketing looking for a mechanism which shifts blame away from him if the economy fails to recover quickly?

Misopinionated,

Either-or - is that it ? Manicheanism ? Either black or white ? Either up or down ? Either good or bad ? It's interesting that Manichaean monasteries might have been set up by Christian refugees across Central Asia and Western China after 400 AC, and a thousand years later influenced the new Ming Dynasty which overthrew Mongol rule.

Yes, I'm very pro- Chinese people - over sixty years, I have met and known and loved many Chinese people, best mates, the most beautiful and sweet girls, hard workers, none who ever done me down.

And yes, I was a Maoist for maybe twenty years until I found out about the ghastly activities of Mao and the Cultural revolutionists, which coincided anyway with a complete disillusion with socialism, around the mid-eighties.

But no, I do not in any way support the current Chinese regime, in its aggressions against Vietnam and other south and south-east Asian countries, in the south Seas and the North Japanese Sea and against India; in its oppression of the Tibetans and Uighurs and other minorities; in its insidious undermining of governments across central Asia; and of course, in its oppression of its own people. Under the guise of communism and socialism, they have merely reproduced a totalitarian system which benefits its party members.

Perhaps you're too young and/or thick to understand the differentiation between Chinese people and the current Chinese government. Give yourself time, a few decades :)

LOUDmouth,

What are you going on about? Looks like I might have said something that brought on an epiphany for you. Has your little imaginary world evaporated before your eyes? Well, your Grade 6 education can only take you so far.

Don't worry, you'll be right! Just keep pitching for your premier to sign up to China's Belt and Road Initiative like Victoria has done. Just think, China will be able to reunite tens of millions of its nationals with their family members already in Australia. And they'll have you to thank for it.

You just have to put your hopes in Scott Morrison not overriding Victoria's decision to sign up to the BRI. Good Luck! and a big Aussie "Ni Hao Cobber!" to you and your pro-China camp.
