Thursday's decision to offer up to 10,000 Hong Kong students and workers already in Australia safe haven from draconian new national security legislation imposed by Beijing is the right thing to do. But it will come at a cost.
The speed at which the Chinese government has moved to impose its authority on Asia's once-liberal finance hub has shocked many of the city's 7.5 million residents.This is the most diplomatically heated migration decision by an Australian Prime Minister since Bob Hawke offered 27,000 Chinese students refuge after the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.
ErykBagshaw What is courageous is the Australian government offer the same to existing refugees and new refugees.
ErykBagshaw Don't pretend to be a fighter for these people, instead, you are just a lapdog for your American daddy. auspol
ErykBagshaw should we tell americans the same thing? lol
ErykBagshaw Just make sure they are HK born and bred. Can imagine mainlanders posing as HK residents trying to worm their way in.
ErykBagshaw Need the HKers to boost real estate market desperately, hah?
ErykBagshaw China. Lol.
ErykBagshaw Australia sage heaven? Maybe for some, but not for Chinese or Chinese lookalikes? With the rising reports of whites beating, shouting at Chinese lookalikes and whipping outside China embassy. Maybe they thought HK don’t read international news.
ErykBagshaw ... which was stating the bleeding obvious given events in HK and the UyghurGenocide .
ErykBagshaw Favours for Trump
ErykBagshaw Fair
ErykBagshaw No HKers told Australia that and we said ‘ok’ we believed them.
ErykBagshaw 'Courageous Hong Kong visas will come at a price' Some things money can't buy.
ErykBagshaw To say we have little left to lose is possibly the dumbest thing I've ever seen an Australian journalist write. How can you masquerade as a 'China correspondent' when you can write something as tone deaf as this piece?
ErykBagshaw Chinese govt can make it harder to shift the funds of its citizens too. What’s the bet this doesn’t go as planned? Bejing reacts passive aggressive to anything that doesn’t go their way now.
ErykBagshaw Its actually farking crazy.. here in Oz saying to every HK organised crime 'business' & the rest.. come on down to Oz.. buy a suburb, lay on the beach, do what you want.. AND we won't send you back to HK for your crimes cause we've Suspended our Extradition Protocols..auspol
ErykBagshaw And Australia is correct

Australia suspends Hong Kong extradition treaty, extends Hong Kongers' visas after security law imposedAustralia has suspended its extradition treaty with Hong Kong and extended visas for Hong Kong residents in response to China’s imposition of a tough national security law on the semi-autonomous territory. Time to tell China to go jump. Seek better partnerships with like minded Nations such as India and Japan. Nations who don’t intern dissenters in gulags while bullying the rest of the world. Excellent. Thank goodness we didn't get a Labor government a year ago Did that NSW copper just say that the NSW quarantine system was great and only had 1 person escape?
