My God, isn't Malcolm Turnbull the feisty one? Did you see him give Obama the finger over the Port Darwin sale? Telling Obama that he could have read about it in an NT newspaper was Turnbull saying to him 'Hey Obama! Sit on it!' That's it Turnie, you tell 'em: Australia is part of China now.

We all know how Australia's politicians and business leaders have been selling off the country to China since Hawke came to power but Turnbull is the first politician to come out and stand up to a US President for questioning it. It's China or bust now and buddying up with China instead of the US means that Australia is now well and truly on the road to becoming a Sino-Australian nation.

If that is the case why did Morrison reject the sale of the Kidman station to a Chinese co?

Dear Phillip S,

It is my understanding that the politicians will be allowing the owners to break the assets down into smaller packages so that the eventual sale of this 1% of the Australian land mass to China will not attract national attention.

I have always preferred fried rice to hot dogs anyway. Australia's interests is very much in the Asia/Pacific region and not in Europe as we once thought, or in North America as many a conservative politician has lead us to believe. As a nation we risk much tying ourselves to the apron strings of the United States, both economically and politically.
Turnbull is working to re-position Australia in Asia/Pacific, after the disasters Abbott created with both Indonesia and China, and a few others. No longer should we find it necessary to check with Uncle Sam before formulating foreign policy, like we have done so often in the past.
Just as he is getting the thumbs down with arch conservatives on social issues, note the reaction from that quarter here on this very forum, the same mob are going to be shocked and dismayed at the Turnbull governments new directions in foreign policy.
I am afraid fellas Malcolm is not going to give you much to smile about in the run up to the next election, and after that he is going to have you positively mortified on a number of issues.

We were one of the first to join the Asia Investment Infrastructure Bank. We also now trade with China directly with Yuan with no US $ conversions.

Everyone is sick of US power plays. Their central bankers have destroyed the world economy.The really big collapse is coming soon.

Well Arjay, I know you believe the US runs roughshod over other
countries.
I suggest you ask the Tibetans for examples of roughshod riding.
