Here is another example – in the news today :

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/dec/28/chinese-company-approved-to-run-water-mining-operation-in-drought-stricken-queensland?utm_term=RWRpdG9yaWFsX0d1YXJkaWFuVG9kYXlBVVMtMTkxMjI4&utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&CMP=GTAU_email&utm_campaign=GuardianTodayAUS

I hope that it's not true ! Can a Govt really be that insipid ? It is a Guardian article so there's a possibility of a bit of fake news.

individual,

It looks real to me and ScuMo and his mates haven't come out denying it.

You can see why I get so angry about Australia's politicians, bureaucrats and business people selling us out to China. They just don't care what happens to this country; all they are interested in is themselves and stuffing Chinese money into their own pockets at our expense.

My area of personal expertise is the environmental sociology of water so when I see these scumbags treating our water resources like this I get absolutely furious. Can you blame me?

There you go, automatically blame the Fed Govt when it is the state
govt that should be blamed. It wouldn't be political bias would it ?
However the Feds should be intervening if at all possible.
There is just too much inertia in the system.
There has been talk about the Bradfield scheme and talk that it is
being reexamined. Not good enough, there should be an engineering
commission established to decide which part of the general idea should
be tackled first and to call tenders for the initial engineering work.
No one, especially the taxpayers, will be satisfied until real progress
is visible.

Bazz,

If it's nothing to do with the Federal government then why are David Littleproud and Josh Fydenberg shown in the photo taken at drought-stricken Stanthorpe where the Chinese have been given rights to mine the groundwater? Maybe they just happen to be taking a holiday from the bushfires at the time?

Bazz,

PS Maybe they are on one of those ScuMo Aloha Hawaii holiday packages that are so popular among LNP politicians during the bushfire season.
