'Incredible job': Scott Morrison praises Australia's Chinese community amid Beijing stoush

Mr Morrison said he would be “very happy” to enter into a dialogue with China’s leadership if he was victorious on polling day, though it was an opportunity that “hasn’t been extended” to the Coalition at the moment.

“And this is what we want to see happen in the future but at the same time, Australia will always stand up for liberties and the freedoms and the things that are very important to us. We can't have a situation where any other government from any other country, including the Chinese government, would seek to coerce Australia.”Relations soured in 2020 when the Morrison government called for an investigation into the origins of COVID-19.

"During the pandemic, Australians of Chinese heritage did an incredible job, particularly in those early months of the pandemic, when the virus had begun in Wuhan," he said. “The reason that multiculturalism works so successfully in Australia is not that it keeps people separate, it's because it brings people together, our values that we share across so many different ethnic languages and faith groups,” Mr Morrison said.

Labor leader Anthony Albanese and Minister Ed Husic speak to the media during a press conference after touring the Northern Oil Refinery.In its response to the war in Ukraine, the Australian government in March announced it would prioritise the processing of visa applications from Ukraine, a stance that remains in place.

SBSRadio That’s BS. If he really meant that, he had plenty of time and opportunity to foster a good relationship but he didn’t show he did any of that.

SBSRadio Scomo wouldn't have a chance against the Chinese that to professional for his likes you'd rather sell everything off to them

SBSRadio Scomo is a guy who would like pizza but wouldn't order it because they hadn't delivered it yet. Pure PR no substance.

SBSRadio Yeah right. After destroyed the sino-Australian relationship and the stupid War clamor, China will show Australia how to handle a war.

SBSRadio Where's Gladys? Well in this campaign it seems like she pops out of a carry-all whenever a photo is being taken. You would think she was a senior Minister in the way she is always on the spot instead of an M.P about whom many questions are being asked.

Scott Morrison continues to defend superannuation housing policy amid Labor criticism – videoMorrison rebuffs criticism his Super Home scheme is a gamble Why would you let anyone take money from their super? That’s their retirement fund, not their housing fund. Complete and utter stupidity from Morrison who should know better. Desperation. I saw the Canstar calculations showing that the LNP plan would cost homebuyers $1000 more per month than the Labor plan on a $900k loan. That's an extra $450k across the life of the loan.

Scott Morrison suggests Labor may have leaked AUKUS information had it been briefed soonerThe Prime Minister denies that Australia broke with the Biden administration when it decided not to consult Labor about its momentous decision to scrap the French submarine program and unveil an ambitious new plan to build nuclear-powered submarines with the US and the UK. So, the Prime Minster were planning on walking out of the French subs deal... 5 months before.... 'five months before the AUKUS announcement in September last year.' You better believe it. I wouldn't trust Labor with a kid's lunch money. We know him, who in their right mind would want to vote for a blatant lier like Morrison! What an insult from the LNP towards the people of Australia

Scott Morrison defends marginal seat spending saying MPs ‘know what their community needs’Prime minister on ABC’s 7.30 program takes umbrage at question suggesting ‘your government used community sports grants as a slush fund’ Why even bother with this? I mean publishing this served no purpose. Tripe It is all about winning elections, not about need or priorities. If a Liberal electorate has certain needs you could bet the Labor electorates would need exactly the same things, like hospitals, schools, doctors, clean water, aged care facilities etc., not commuter car parks, outrageously expensive swimming pools, or revamped rifle ranges.
