Just pointless clumsy blathering to distract the people from government agendas.

The less we have to do with China the better. If only just for the human rights abuses they commit against their own citizens.

You really have no clue, do you Scooty ScottMorrisonMP

Morrison is too weak to stand up to Dutton. Trying to excuse Dutton's statements instead of telling him to butt out of foreign affairs.

Whatever.... It was an ugly photo

Dutton’s full of Bullshit. If he was even slightly concerned about the CCP, why has he not raised the public’s concern about Gladys Liu. Dutton is so busy trying to curry favor with his racist base, he forgot he may have a CCP member in his own gang.

ohhh dear... or is it just the way he is? You know, nasty and short sighted ?

Would that be their different language ScoMo?

Morrison is right.

What a load of rubbish Scoothinks we are all stupid Dutton is a disgrace

China is run by a dictator and Australia is run by a democratically elect gov

Sounds like another Liberal leadership challenge.

Dutton is a racist. And looks like a potato.

These fools will get us all killed. Seriously.

Me thinks he's reading the wrong page...

That does not sound racist AT ALL /sarcasm

What’s wrong with people having a problem with PeterDutton_MP calling out foul plays by China that threaten Australia’s national interest?

The ABC points out regularly why it is no longer a real news service.

That's what we pay the diplomats to do.

Seems to me he we pointing out the similarities. Opposition to demonstrations in Australia, free speech under attack, an authoritarian Government.

It seems that Dutton is testing the authority of Morrison. From this response, it seems the answer is obvious.

What's next on his list of insights? Our nations are different shapes?

More work done in China on new trains for Melbourne as delays mountMore work on Melbourne's 65 new high-capacity trains is being outsourced to China than originally planned and their rollout is running at least a year late. You can order them on Ebay and they'll say they are from Australia but they really get them in from China. There's a perfectly good train factory in Ballarat. When we build things locally, the wages get paid locally, and then they get spent locally. I do think when any government project is put out to tender, the portion of the bill that is spent in Australia should be discounted. Well, whatever it takes. Chinese move quicker. That's why they build in African countries because they are nimble.nothing to do with politics, its physical,& a bloody fact. The Age is only trying to stir up shit.
