This should have been declared a long time ago.

Whatever PR you're trying to do for the LNP Know this Every mention of Clover Moore and foreign interference I will respond with GladysLiuMP information about her connections to the Chinese government Gladys didn't like it last time auspol IStandWithDan ThisisNotJournalism

Hopefully she adviseses them into the ocean as fish food.

I cannot believe that we , as a nation , have been 'dragged' into this cold war with our major trading partner! Heavens above this smells like the demonising of Iraq and its WMD's. The US is trying to increase agricultural trade with China, and if they succeed, guess who looses?

ForeignOfficial ericperipatetic hagarco gavmorris hui_echo Looking forward with more CCPINFILTRATION reports

Where is Angus when you need him. He should be sending Clover letters asking why she is talking to the Chinese. What did Sam Dastyari do differently other than he was a Labor politician.

SurprisedOwl From a mainland Chinese perspective, I don't see any anti-Chinese in the report. I wonder what is your background with fluent English, $20 army? CCPINFILTRATION

JoshBavas Sydney's politicians expect foreign money to finance developer's pet projects, further their own careers and curry favors with the electorate. No idea of self-reliance. This wide-spread mindset is the problem. And voters re-elect the same politicians. Circular.

Dr_Scolyer_Gray surprised!? Lol

How come Robert Kok remains a Sydney city councillor? Send these commies home for all our sakes.

CloverMoore

And she’s even treating him to lunch.

McCarthism goes insane😡😡😡

The Greed and blindness in our country leads to the political corruption of our leaders, where even the good are tainted by their greed and manipulations dividing us as a people and rotting this great country from the inside out.

China should be unsupportable given COVID, human rights, HK suppression, South China Sea, cyber attacks, spying, political interference, trade bullying..........

Another attempt to discredit Clover? ABC working for Angus now ?

o crap, need to talk to my dad...apparently we had spaghetti last week...I'm suspicious he has links to China...even saw some random bricks in his backyard! Souvenirs from a recent trip to the Great Wall...mmm?

Nothing new, they have been doing this for decades, unchecked until now due to the COVID-19 panic.

Didn’t know GladysLiuMP was on the council, well there you go 🕺

TheMBB was here

In other breaking news I had Dim Sims and noodles for dinner last Friday.

You mean like the foreign interference in our parliament 🤬🤬 auspol ScottyFromMarketing ScottMorrisonMP sunriseon7 GladysLiuMP BreakfastNews

Sgt_Patterson Is the dog safe?

ABC gone from most trusted news source to Murdoch trash rag in 6 months wow

a kommie under the towm hall

That's what happens when the law of the land allows anyone to hold the top job for unlimited periods of time. Limiting their term would mean they can only cover up for as much and for as long.

Sm government was reported is linked to the gop in the States. Can abc report something more valuable, like why the covid case is surging in aus

How’s the Port of Darwin going? Do the Anti-Chinese trolls remember what the current Federal Liberal Party did there? Google it. But now the Coalition is pretending they weren’t just selling access to Beijing.

She looked so happy earning Chinese Yuan.

Yet the Anglo Democratic Party of Australia, left and right, have continued to persecute us natives since foreign British Whites illegally landed on my soil like the NAZIS invading Poland!

Calling out ‘Black Lives Matter’ is Racist, “All Lives Matter” China forcefully harvesting organs from detainees Muslim slave labour in Chinese concentration camps 100m Chines Christians persecuted in China Million Uyghurs facing 'cultural genocide'

Clover Moore is a rabid Communist supporting patsy. How is that even news? TheirABC

The current ccp is one of the most concerning global issues and needs every bit scrutiny

Muslim slave labour in Chinese concentration camps, Hmm NO protest in Australia?

Oh here we go again.. is Angus busy again?
