Sky News Darwin Bureau Chief Matt Cunningham says all you need to do is "follow the money" to find the true intentions behind Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas' pro-China comments. The Australian is reporting “the Victorian Premier's office has refused access to details of crucial national security advice it received before signing up to China’s Belt and Road Initiative”.
The Vic state labor has already been bought out by the ccp in the same way they have bought out NSW labor. Vic and DA are a disgrace to Aust for signing up to the B&R initiative in the first place. Vic gets the money for infastructure, gets lured into a possible future debt trap
He is a wise and brave leader. China is a more reliable partner than US. When will the Morrison government wake up...
Scomo should be focussing on following the money and rorting of his Ministers
The Victorian Government understands the importance of Investing in Infrastructure projects to get the economy going and supercharge job growth and create employment. Just roll out the Spin Scomo because everything you lot touch you Stuff up! Wake up! ScottyFromMarketing
Pallas will find out what Victorians think of him at the ballot box.
Is Australia China2 now? So if I travel to Australia I will actually be traveling to China2. So I see Australia is no longer its own country.
Didn't Darwin sell port to the Chinese? That was a strange move.

Vic government 'cozy up to China' as investment deadline approaches | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Caleb Bond says the Victorian government's pro-China stance 'is entirely in line' with their behaviour over the past few years.\n\nThe Australian is reporting “Victoria is locked in critical final stage negotiations with Beijing over investments worth billions of dollars at the same time as its Treasurer has savaged the Morrison government’s ‘vilification’ of China over trade and the COVID-19 pandemic'. \n\nThe deadline for Victoria to sign an investment roadmap, which ties the state to the communist giant, is just weeks away. \n\nMr Bond said 'the fact that the Victorian Labor government would still be pressing on with the Belt and Road under these circumstances is ridiculous”.\n\n“For them to criticise the federal government for being one of the few powers in the world actually happy to stand up to China at the moment is also ridiculous”. \n\nMr Bond also said the ALP were having difficulty maintaining a clear unified line held by all party members. \n\n“They’ve got the Victorian government saying we want to cozy up to China, they’ve got sections of the federal Labor party saying we need to go hard on China … and then you’ve got people like Kim Carr in the federal labor party saying we have to go soft on China”. \n\n\n Caleb Bond.......... 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 Nothing worse than appeasement.

China ‘goes after Australia’ with brand new iron ore ‘threat’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says “there is a brand new threat” issued by the Chinese Communist Party who have said they “are ready to hurt the Australian economy”. \n\nChina’s The Global Times reported “it seems the Australian government has no intention of sowing new troubles in its trade with China, but the possibility of deteriorating tensions escalating into a trade war should not be ignored”. \n\nMr Murray said it is clear China is once again “threatening us” and they 'are confirming by their actions that they are going after us”.\n\n“First it was barley, then a bit on beef and now the big game, iron ore”. \n\nThe Age reported “China’s customs authorities have released new rules coming into force on June 1 that officials would conduct quality inspections for iron ore shipments at the request of the buyer”.\n\n“The buyer of course is the Chinese Communist Party,” Mr Murray said. \n 1Naasty what does Australia produce that China needs Food!! Our big problem - Australia is the most China-dependent economy in the developed world. The other big problem is that most people in Australia are not aware of that fact. China is indeed drunk on power however the Chinese economy is like a HOUSE OF CARDS - their economy is in dire straits. Looking forward to the collapse. You can't believe one word they say, they are like gangsters thieving in the night! Your threats show weakness not strength!

Political polls under scrutiny following election outcomes | Sky News AustraliaAMSRO board member Craig Young says an inquiry is still underway into misguided polling projections ahead of the Coalition’s historic election win last year. \n\nThe majority of polls predicted Labor was an odds-on bet to win back office after a six year stint in opposition.\n\nMr Young told Sky News polls are designed to give voters “a read on what’s happening electorally” and “to the extent that they fail to do that – I think that’s a really serious and terrible thing for a functioning democracy”. \n\nHe said it is a “popular narrative” that polling systems are often quite wrong. \n\n“The reality is that actually historically Australian polling has a pretty good track record of being quite accurate,” he said. \n\n“Unfortunately in political polling in a two-party system near enough isn’t good enough.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia I was polled three times, twice I lied and said I would vote Labor. Only once did I tell the truth. On the Saturday night of the election, I raised it with a group of friend. Of the eight, two beside myself had been polled. They said that they would vote Labor they voted LNP.

Fears China could further cripple Aust exports | Sky News AustraliaThere are fears of major trade reprisals from China, which has reportedly written up a list of other Australian goods in the firing line. \n\nWith a third of Australia’s exports sold to China, Australia’s National Farmers Federation CEO Tony Mahar said he was “acutely aware” of speculation China could impose economic taxes on other Australian industries. \n\n“We’re always conscious of any disruptions to trade in an export dominated industry like agriculture where we export two thirds of what we produce, and a third of that goes to China,” he said. \n\nAfter a historic vote at the World Health Assembly overnight, world leaders agreed to establish an inquiry into the COVID-19 response – vindicating Australia’s push for a probe into the COVID-19 outbreak. \n\nFederal Health Minister Greg Hunt said Australia was committed to the global inquiry but wanted it to be as independent as possible from the World Health Organisation. \n\nLabor leader Anthony Albanese told Sky News his party supported the government and its unwavering push for an independent inquiry, saying “the Coalition and Labor have been at one, we have had the same position on this matter”. \n\nImage: Getty We support you Australia So what bring it on, there is only one way to treat a bully.

China will work hard to 'delay and influence' the coronavirus investigation | Sky News AustraliaThe Sydney Morning Herald's Anthony Galloway says China will work hard to 'delay' and 'influence' the official coronavirus investigation. \n\nMr Galloway said the wording of the motion suggested an inquiry would begin 'as soon as appropriate or possible' which he believed China could use to delay the investigation by 'months or years'.\n\nAustralia led a resolution for an investigation into the origins of the coronavirus and a review of the World Health Organisation's response to COVID-19 which was supported by a record number of co-sponsors at the World Health Assembly.\n\n'[China] was more or less sidelined in terms of the negotiations on the wording of the document and were just forced to agree to it in the end,' he said. \n\n'Anthony Albanese's comment this inquiry was always going to happen is the kind of thinking that's resulted in China essentially co-opting and coercing a lot of UN bodies over the past decade. We've really been asleep at the wheel.'\n\nMr Galloway said when it comes to multi-lateral organisations, 'you have to be in it to win it', labelling the resolution a 'triumph of middle-power diplomacy'. \n\nImage: AP Disgraceful Dishonest CHINA 🇨🇳 It won't happen... simple as that So what just continues to show a lack of character and makes them look to loose face to the rest of the world. Just proves they are a bunch of used arsewipes. XHNews ChinaDaily pooh
