Mr Downer said Australia wants to know that China "cannot just dominate the region". "And to stop that happening, the Americans have to be fully engaged in the region and we've got to work to keep the Americans fully engaged".
Foreign Minister Marise Payne and Defence Minister Linda Reynolds recently opted for an in-person visit for the Australia–US Ministerial Consultation talks despite the offer of an online briefing.

Australia needs ‘sustainable coronavirus policies and not shut borders’ | Sky News AustraliaIt appears as though Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk believes every coronavirus infection “as a blow to her reelection campaign” says Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nFrom Saturday, Greater Sydney residents will be banned from entering Queensland.\n\nQueensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced the decision on Wednesday as she added Greater Sydney - encompassing 34 local government areas - to the list of declared coronavirus hotspots.\n\nAnother 19 cases of coronavirus were confirmed in New South Wales on Wednesday after a cluster emerged in Sydney's east.\n\nMr Kenny said the move seems “like more economic self-harm”. \n\n“Remember we are supposed to be flattening the curve, not eradicating a virus we cannot kill off”. \n\nMr Kenny said the continual shutting of borders and closing of businesses and society are simply not sustainable in dealing with the virus. \n\n“We need to have policies from state and federal governments, from aged care facilities, hospitals, medical systems, workplaces, schools and regions that can last beyond a week or a month'. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia AnnastaciaMP Oh dear.

China's provocation is 'hardening allied cooperation and resistance' | Sky News AustraliaIt is unsurprising America has appreciated Australia’s strength in standing up to the Communist Party of China according to Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nThe United States has issued China a firm slap down following high-level meetings with Australia's defence and foreign ministers in Washington.\n\nUS Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Australia and the US faced immediate crisis as a result of China’s ambitions and applauded Australia for standing firm against Beijing.\n\n“The United States commends the Morrison government for standing up for democratic values and the rule of law despite intense, continued, coercive pressure from the Chinese Communist Party to bow to Beijing’s wishes,” he said.\n\nMr Kenny said “seldom” have these talks been as crucial as they were this week. \n\nHe said Australia has stood up “on the South China Sea, we've stood up on foreign interference and we've stood up intelligence security and the blocking of foreign investment that we believe could undermine our own interests”. \n\n“And unsurprisingly the Americans have appreciated our strength”. \n\nImage: AP Chris Kenny really is talking a load of shit today though, isn't he, and perhaps you should stop reporting it as 'news'? Hitler vibes coming from China if every respect ... the world has to come together to stop it going further .. Here tell us the truth about CCP virus

Daniel Andrews needs to 'save us the crocodile tears' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says the aged care situation in Victoria got worse because Premier Daniel Andrews chose to ignore the federal government’s advice to move the sick out of aged care. \n\n“A week ago, [the Andrews government] were being told by the feds, you need to start cleaning out elective surgery, stop elective surgery, the beds that would otherwise go for category two, category three elective surgery, those beds should be for people currently sick in nursing homes,” Mr Murray said. \n\n“With every days delay people got sicker, more workers got sick and people are dying.\n\n“It was only after the Prime Minister picked up the phone and spoke to Daniel Andrews that this ended up changing.”\n\nMr Murray said the media has been lapping up footage of Daniel Andrews talking about his mum saying he wouldn't let his mum live in some of Victoria's aged-care homes. \n\n“Save me the crocodile tears, save me the stories about your mum in aged care because other people’s mums and dads in aged care suffered, and are suffering tonight because the Victorian government did not follow the advice that they were getting.” Mr Murray said. \n\n“Which was to move people out of Aged-care last week.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n Oh hang on a minute, what's this all about?

The Black Lives Matter movement is 'underpinned by lawlessness' | Sky News AustraliaNSW One Nation leader Mark Latham says “lawlessness underpins' the Black Lives Matter movement.\n\nMr Latham said the protest in Sydney on Tuesday, which occurred despite being ruled illegal by the Supreme Court of New South Wales and the Court of Appeal, demonstrates the anarchic nature of the movement. \n\n“It’s a form of anarchy when you get what was their fourth protest here in Sydney, … ruled illegal by two courts,” Mr Latham told Sky News.\n\nMr Latham added that the argument of BLM protesters in Australia is a “fraud” because they mistakenly believe the David Dungay Jr case is the Australian equivalent of George Floyd. \n\n“It’s no such thing,” he said. \n\n“Anyone who’s read the independent coroner’s report will see the coroner was very, very sympathetic but couldn’t find any adverse comments about the prison officers involved in that tragic incident.\n\n“These are people who don’t accept the findings of a coronal report, they don’t accept the findings of two court decisions, they don’t accept the instructions of the police today, they don’t accept the health orders in the health emergency.”\n\nImage: AP Images lol again 😂 Marxism underpins it. The extremist left and their 🦇 💩 crazy ideas, backed by Labor and the Greens. Their protests are not in good faith. They are anarchists and criminals and should be treated as such. Lock them up, Australia wholeheartedly approves.
