Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has signed a new deal with the Chinese Government to deepen the state's engagement with the controversial Belt and Road initiative.
But it also encourages Chinese infrastructure firms to establish a presence in Victoria and to bid for major projects.Some critics have accused Mr Andrews of hypocrisy after he introduced laws ensuring local procurement for all government projects.Foreign policy doesn't usually fall under the jurisdiction of state governments, but essentially it will mean a bigger market to sell wine, beef and lamb, as well as an opportunity for Victorian institutions to teach future Chinese doctors.
Having already been stung by a few unviable infrastructure projects in Sri Lanka and Pakistan, Chinese companies would likely weigh up the merits of Victorian deals rather than splash cash recklessly.Belt and Road is designed to help maintain economic growth in China through Chinese companies using Chinese materials and sometimes Chinese labour to build infrastructure in other countries, usually developing nations.
So Australian must go deep inside this Victoria’s Secret to find out whether they are sold out by Mr. Daniel Andrews... The secret may be in his account numbers... 1 belt 1 road seems adorable, but profitable antichinazi
And Im critical of the morrison govt. They're No Less danger to Australian Citizens. They're to be feared by Aussies just as much as any outsider should. Any gov that works Only for themselves is a danger to citizens.
You don't fly Chinese flags over your police stations by accident! WakeupAustralia
Victorian premier must have his head in a water melon not to acknowledge China’s sinister ambitions in Australia.
Selling Victoria piece by piece to China. Daniel Andrews like a China operative
Almost an act of treason!!
Andrews has alienated many ALP voters who see China`s growing influence as greatly intrusive.
Ooooh
Putting Australia in danger
Canberra is not critical of anyone. You mean the LNP government.

Kmart pulls 'offensive' children's wedding costume from shelves'Child marriage means child abuse and torture in its worst forms ... take this child bride costume off your shelves,' a petition against the costume read. oh come on this is just as bad as cultural appropriations crap For the people who think it's ok. Where is the 'groom' costume? Oh there isn't one? Is that because boys aren't taught from a young age to look forward to being owned by someone and breeding for them? It's all about letting kids know they have choices, and not brainwashing them SBS Looks just like a Holy Communion outfit for girls.

NSW Treasurer 'frustrated' by federal leaders 'shooting down' tax reform debateNSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet wants an expanded GST discussed to improve state government services, but he is unlikely to win any support from Canberra. Good on him for trying but they aren't entertaining GST changes because it's been political poison for 25 years min. Much safer to make other tax changes instead, literally no one notices them and they are not forced to give the revenue to states. .... by “tax reform “... do they mean the 2500 multinationals that syphon a trillion dollars out of the country without paying a cent of tax .... will start paying 30 cents on the dollar ? yeah tax the proletariat until their eyes bleed; never mind the thousands each month having their electricity cut off even now!

'She has to bathe in a bucket': Top End water supplies hit critical lowResidents have been left vulnerable and fearing for their future water security as underground aquifers run critically low in rural Darwin. I'm already doing that. Lots of us on rainwater (collected via our roofs) are trying to eke out our water rather than being profligate with it and having our river depleted by trucking water to our property. We watch as our trees die. Well at least the soil salinity has declined with lower aquifer levels. That argument can be put to bed now. These aquifers must have a balanced level..... Well folks i now demand the ABC suggests a secular fartwa for Tim Flannery to stop using the phrase 'Even the rain that does fall won't be enough to fill our rivers and streams' ? any takers?. Yes for the Twitter Police i spelt it 'fartwa' on purpose, so ST*U auspol
