Huawei Australia chairman John Lord has criticised the Morrison government for 'mischieviously' overplaying security concerns involving Huawei,

"[Australia] needs to embrace solutions that address security, the economy and strategic relationships rather than solely the security perspective which is presently being mischievously overplayed and which is unbalancing the debate on our national interests in the future," Mr Lord said in the Charles Todd Oration speech to the Telecommunications Association in Sydney.

Mr Lord also criticised Cyber Security Commissioner Tobias Feakin for encouraging India to ban Huawei when around half of Australia's technology imports came from China. Australian spy chiefs have previously"It is hard to see how it could be considered a good outcome if a country such as India could only access 50 per cent of the best innovation and technology," Mr Lord said.

"Australia cannot be a one-way street in terms of [technology] industry trade with Asia. We cannot be taken by the mindset that we export our minerals to Asian countries and import hi-tech from them – Australia must benefit from Asia's innovation and technology boom," he said.

So the word of a single chairman is worth more than the thousands of protesters in Hong Kong we the people won’t forget that NotSoFairFax hosted a LNP fundraiser and promoted it as a benefit not as a single event which shows just how corrupt the media class is embedded LNP

Ok. Greatman

The Chinese Province of Australia will be brought into line with proper thinking in due time. After Hong Kong is settled.

Yes we can

Yeah we can. Takes a bit of practice, that’s all. Unlike this bloke I’m not paid by china so I can put Australia first.

we r passive participant It is China's policy to meddle in other countries local politic They want influence Now Solomon island has joined d queue for money

Nothing like a True Australian Patriot [COUGH]

Of course you would say this as your hands are tied with their cash.... yes we need independent audit of equipment to satisfy ourselves but how can you believe someone that keeps telling lies... no it’s an island for shipping safety no a military base... yes the cladding is fine

I think our security should come first, risking that is far more grievous than some shady trade deal with a manipulative, controlling spy risk of a country.
