The Coalition is accusing Labor of being pro China.
This is playing right into China's hands -as ASIO
Director Burgess has pointed out on the news this
morning. Trying to score pre-election brownie
points in this way - undermines us - and gives
China want it wants to achieve here - disunity amongst
our political parties. This stupid behaviour needs
to stop.

Hi Foxy,

The Coalition can't run on its record, its terrible. A "vote for me, the other guys worse" campaign might be all they have.

Hi Paul,

It's time that those sort of tactics were stopped
in this country. They put our nation's security
at risk and play right into our enemy's hands.

Foxy,

It is stupid behaviour. One (conservative) commentator said it reminded him of Malcolm Fraser's also stupid remark about having to keep your money under the bed if Labor got in instead of him.

A couple of days ago, Rita Panahi quizzed an often-appearing left-wing deputy mayor of one of Melbourne's lefty councils about the Global Times supporting Albanese for PM.

Lefty ( sorry I can't think of his name) responded by saying that Albanese would take no pleasure in that; that the paper was owned by the CCP, and what it spouted wasn't worth the paper it was written on.

Fellow guest, Bronwyn Bishop hit the roof, spluttering 'how could he pass off' something said in a Communist paper, yada yada.

In this instance I totally agreed with Lefty. Bronwyn is worse than, and more embarrassing, than any retired Prime Minister.

Really eye opening stuff.

"That’s because senior Liberal party figures worked with News Corp to bring Australia under the influence of the Xi Jinping regime, in a staggering plot that would have seen Chinese enterprises purchase major Australian companies and Chinese workers displace Australians in workplaces across the country, and would have brought Australia into the “orbit” of one of the world’s most brutal, aggressive regimes — all without ordinary Aussies being given a say.

China was even able to secure control of a strategic Darwin port as part of the Liberal-News Corp plot, leaving Australian and US military movements susceptible to Chinese monitoring to this very day.

The primary architect of the plot was former prime minister Tony Abbott, who posed as a hardline anti-communist while engaging in extensive secret negotiations with the Xi Jinping regime to extend Chinese economic intervention in Australia. It was dubbed the “China–Australia Free Trade Agreement” (ChAFTA), and information about the negotiations was withheld from the public until 2015, when Abbott, without consultation with Parliament or the community, signed Australia to a deal allowing Chinese investment and labour into Australia unchecked."
