Dear Foxy,

Just don't let on to mhaze.

Dear Mr Opinion,

mhaze is a very intuitive man.
Just like you. :-)

Dear Foxy,

mhaze is the exact opposite to me and he will tell you that himself.

Mr O turns out he is an old wrinkly Aussie, not sure how to find a Chinese cook but still trying

The China threat raised its ugly head again at last week's Pacific Island Forum when Fiji's bellicose Prime Minister announced that " China never insults us', inferring that Australia does insult the Pacific because Scott Morrison failed to fall into a heap over demands that we 'do more' about climate change, including getting rid of coal.

PM Bainimarama said nothing about the fact that the Chinese - who were delighted by his petulant comment - are huge users of Australian coal, and non-stop builders of coal-powered power stations.

If the Fijian PM is not clever enough to realise that, if Australia ceased to exist, it would not make one iota of difference to climate change, then he is not clever enough to know what will happen to his country and others in the Pacific if they fall into the hands of China, who will make undeliverable promises to gain power in the Pacific.

This won't be the last attempt at blackmail with the threat of China behind it. Morrison strongly responded by saying that his duty was to Australia; he must never be allowed to forget that.

As is to be expected, the Opposition reaction to the blackmail attempt was pure virtue-signalling and anti-government, rather than a stand for their country.

I watched Penny Wong on the Insiders program
this morning. She said that China will press for
its interests and China will continue to expand its
its influence in the region.
