PM to legislate disposal of Belt and Road Initiative agreement between Vic and China | Sky News Australia

4min

The legislation to dispose of the initiative will further generate laws banning multiple other deals with foreign governments which are found not to be in the national interest. The Australian has reported this is an unprecedented move against Chinese interference and the protection of state secrets. The bill, titled the Foreign Relations Bill, will be brought into parliament next week. Sky News host Peter Gleeson Spoke with Sky News contributor Caleb Bond about the matter.

What about Darwin Harbour? Keeping silent on that Scummo?

What changed since 2016, and why is the Federal government still promoting it on the DFAT website?

Wonderful news. Victorians say thank you Mr Morrison ScottMorrison

Is he also going to tear up all the deals between Gina Reinhardt with cattle stations,coal mines wheat farms. The 99year lease on Darwin's port, water allocations etc,etc,etc? What afucking hypocrite.,China has already been sold shitloads of Aus by this gov.

aussie000050 BRI deal Not disposed of. Poor reporting! Legislation Relates to future foreign powers. Seriously look into BRI Global Super Power All roads lead to beltandroad

If the PM is able to legislate nullify the Victorian belt and road initiative , why can’t he do the same in relation to the borders closures.

aussie000050 Grow some balls and stop selling the fuckers iron ore Tell the Chinese we are taxing it at 75% duty to them and no tax to India

👍 for PM to take control

It’s the right thing to do

Scott Morrison about time to show some backbone let’s see if has the fortitude to follow through take leadership

Go for it Scotty.

hire more clean up crews

Fk chicom and the crap that they've been making put of our resources then selling it back to us at exorbitant prices.

Pompeo expressed American unhappiness about Victoria entering the Bell-Road initiativein and warn Victoria to reconsider it. But what on earth Pompeo has right to interfere an Australian state government decision? Morrison is weakening Australian sovereignty with no dignity.

What a stupid PM Australians have, politicizing a pure business trading arrangement just because of the US did not like it!

China losing its grip, maybe I won't have to move to Qld to join army

Cloudsurfermike You lot done anything to highlight our personal information and jobs in the hands of companies in the Phillipines and India? Going to ask Scotty to roll up his sleeves and bring the info and jobs home?

...but Dan is the dictator 🙄

I guess we don't care about 'sovereign risk' any more then? If it was a problem to cancel Adani, why isn't the same criteria applied to this deal?

Sb澳洲，天天上蹿下跳不做实事政党间就会互相攻击，还拿中国当借口，你丫真有实力就过一天完全脱离中国的日子试试看。

Is this the 'belt & road' initiative that the LNP instigated & Labor continued with? I'm so confused...

Re elected the PM! thankyou for stopping this ALP DanielAndrews madness

Play China card or reject premise of the question whenever there is some scrutiny of domestic issues. Sports rorts, aged care, Ruby Princess etc... Bring out China

DHDan, say goodbye to your Platinum Khemlani card issued by the Bank of China.

You’re the Prime Minister mate, so get this country moving. Enough of this house arrest bullshit.

Best news ever!!!!

Shows how incompetently Victoria is & has been run. Federal govt. has to come in over the top.

It’s about time...it shouldn’t never have happen. States Govts. need to go. We are over governed

While Scomo is at it, he might as well kick out the lunatic-in-chief in Victoria.

Thank you ScottMorrisonMP

Surely state governments shouldn’t be allowed to sign up to such initiatives without federal govt approval in the first place

Josh approves Bellamy formula sale to Chinese - no drama. Libs in NT lease Port of Darwin for 99 years to Chinese - no drama Birmingham leaves door open for partnering with China on Belt and Road initiatives - no drama. But Dan, dan, how dare Dan, um, do the same thing.

WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

Suck on that DanielAndrewsMP

Secession becomes more appealing day by day

I’m more concerned about the federal governments inadequate response to its aged care obligations that this ‘look over here’ xenophobic distraction. Now back to aged care failures by fed govt please

Wonderful news! A politician actually putting Australians first for a change!

Thank you ScottMorrisonMP & those that stood with you, in this matter of National Security.

How about the Port if Darwin & all the real estate owned by China

LiNP cons.

yarrajewel needs to examine agenda 21 based UN agreements paying particular attention to the council based actions and effect of ICLEI 'think globally act locally' astroturfing

Good. State politicians should still act in the National interest. auspol springst

Proving dictator dan is a dodgy sort, selling us out to the CCP. Now consider the connection between B&R and Chinese virus. Funny how the virus nailed Victoria and NZ, both signed B&R deal and both marxist lead trying to copy Wuhan response to the “virus”

A senior Chinese official enlisted the help of a top Republican fundraising official to lobby the Trump administration in 2017 to return a Chinese businessman living in the U.S. who has long been sought by Beijing, according to a court document

Fantastic news disposing of Belt & Road Chinese takeover of Australia - great call by Scott Morrison! murpharoo latingle LaTrioli abc730 ABCmediawatch Channel9 PaulBongiorno InsidersABC nikisavva frankelly08 theprojecttv

Total pointless distraction

About bloody time! Now if we can just have the virus DanielAndrewsMP resign! ResignDanielAndrews

Well done to the Federal Government by getting rid of this dangerous deal. Andrews is anti democracy. He is a dictator and control freak. Feeling very relieved today that our national government is in control of this situation. China is dangerous!!

不健康的思维。

👍👍👍

Wow lots of pissant Australian colonists talking tough about China’s downfall. LOL. How were we described by their Deputy Ambassador? “Gum on their shoe.” Learn some history. China has some. Australia OTOH? A poorly run, English penal colony with a history of murder & theft.

Thank God, we don't need Chinese companies & workers coming in, depriving Aussies of work, then if Chinese loans are defaulted on, they seize assets

Distraction politics!!!! After the LiberalAus/The_Nationals Party sell off everything that is nailed down to the Chinese. Including our Constitutional rights to water ScottMorrisonMP reverts back to his race-baiting comfort zone of distraction politics! ScottyFromMarketing

I hope Morrison will do the same with 3 big foreign companies that owned 2/3 of our recourses. That should be priority for Morrison. It is not in Australian interest that foreign companies owned our recourses and Australian children can’t have free education and health. Aust fir

That’ll build the relationship with China.

This is another smoke and mirrors tactic by the PM to distract from his responsibility for aged care and to attack Dan Andrews. Victorians do not need our premier being undermined at this crucial time of getting the virus under control!

Australian's have been waiting for some leadership from our PM...Thank you ScottMorrisonMP !!!

ScottMorrisonMP 👏👏

👏👏👏

Good take the Comrad down

👍

susanzh77455188 👏 Well done. Right decision. ChinaMustFall

You see you muppets

auspol The Murdoch Coalition govt addiction to chinese cash 💰

Just a diversion from the aged care fiasco Morrison is culpable of. The BRI Victoria has is just an MOU, not a signed agreement., stick to the real issues.

Nothing like a good distraction from accountability and responsibility. Amazing to see how many fall for the one card trick

Scott- we are very happy with this decision - thanks👏👏

slpng_giants_oz auspol ...let’s not forget the Murdoch Coalition Governments addiction to Chinese money 💰

Yeahhhh 👏👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Great news. Thank you ScottMorrisonMP

Can we really believe LiarFromTheShire? Believe it when I see it...

Great news!stand firm against CCP

Good news to wake up to. Can not trust the CCP and Dictator Dan. Smart move Scomo 👍🏽

Is the beginning of the end for china taking over goods and services in Australia ? Let's hope so. We can expect more tariffs from them now.

Awesome

JGademski Let’s hope the senate passes it.

Just another way for this rotten federal government to attack labor states

A good start; next, get rid of DictatorDan and end lockdown.

susanzh77455188 RebeccaRambar une autre goutte...

YES!!! Great news!

About time ..well done ..Andrews suck that right up you fool..no you goon

Why can’t people just be happy with this move and not be negative? This deal should never have happened so let’s just be glad if the PM can do something about it! Who cares if you support Dan or Vic Libs (not sure anyone supports them!)

Brilliant! 👏👏ScottMorrisonMP

And the Chinese leased Darwin Port DarwinPortNationalised

Best news “💃EVER” 20 years too late in my opinion but better late than never”! 🇦🇺

Bye Dan

Morrison declares bad mouthing Dan Andrews is his only hope of getting away with treating our aged care residents with the same compassion he brings to live animal exports. The problem is with the help of Murdoch & Costello's Nine Network, Andrews is gone. Bullshit always wins.

Is there a link between Victorian lockdown and belt and road initiative 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Good decision

BYE BYE DanielAndrewsMP 👋

If a federal ALP govt had ruffled Chinese feathers to this extent we’d never hear the end of their culpability and irresponsibility from the Murdoch press.

So why did they flog the strategic Port of Darwin to Chinese interests?

💯

Great news; we cannot trust the China Government.

Good move but good luck washing off the stink.

Good. Put Chairman Andrews back in his box.

Top Job👍

Julie61450197 Excellent mate , EXCELLENT . STICK IT RIGHT UP THERE ASS.!!!! Let’s stop iron export to China for one month and cripple there economy. Without iron ore there economy will crash.

JGademski Thats great but ... Beijing will want their $ back asap...well as long as they take Dicktator dan with then its a win ...

The People of Victoria applaud you, ScoMo.!. Andrews only represents the Marxist ideologues in the Melbourne Unis and a bunch of Lemmings.

JGademski About bloody time. Now get him to get illegal unjustified state and territory borders open and get the country moving.

The outrageous nerve Australia has. Take billions of Chinese cash and investment then give cold shoulder? Wow.

Great news. Leave it to smaller nations to get the most benefits.

Right thing to do but a pity Dan can’t be made to wear his bad decision on BRI upto the next election

👏👏👏👏👏 Best news we've had in VIC in a while. I mean just think, we've been told 150 cases per day is good news... Think about it?

Great news!

Thankyou 👍🇦🇺 Finally

Good!! Fuck Communist China & DanielAndrewsMP

No more testing! Testing has only ever been shown to be 40-80% accurate (appalling), and they never report an error rate! Why are they pushing testing? What does it actually achieve? Nothing other than collecting your information and enacting control. No more compliance!

Now dispose of Dan Andrews

What a good news. Many people will think China is the only buyer for Australia. I think the rest of the world will not bullying when we do business with them. China do not play by the same rules and value. And they’re going down soon

if it really happened, our economy would be even worse

NSW and Victoria create 20 news jobs 'absolutely useless to the economy' | Sky News AustraliaThe Herald Sun Business columnist Terry McCrann says the newly created jobs advertised by NSW and Victoria are “the 21st century’s version of paying people to dig holes and fill them back up again.”\n\nThe Australian’s Adam Creighton in an article in The Australian wrote about the 20 high-paid jobs advertised by NSW and Victoria requiring skills in “change, culture, transformation and strategy’, offering salaries above $3.5 million a year. \n\nMr Creighton said these jobs were ‘nonsense jobs’.\n\nMr McCrann said such jobs were “absolutely useless in terms of any real contribution to the economy.”\n\n“These jobs are advertised; they could have had a kicker – 24.8 million normal Australians do not apply,” he said. \n\n“It’s to the little elite that sits like a pimple on top of the reality of Australia and the economy overall.”\n Reminds me of the old comedy skit of Charley Farley and Piggy Malone moving a hole across the lawn. One dug the hole, the other filled it in.

Andrews defends plan to keep Vic in state of emergency until Sept 2021 | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews has defended a plan to extend Victoria's State of Emergency powers that would not see them lifted until September 2021.\n\nFormer state premier Jeff Kennett registered his anger with Mr Andrews labelling him a 'megalomaniac'. \n\n'The Premier said he might keep the state of emergency in place until we have a vaccine - we may never have a vaccine,' he said.\n\n'Are we all going to be locked up at the whim of the premier without any checks and balances?\n\n'This is an act of a megalomaniac.'\n\nThe opposition indicated it would not support the bill meaning the premier would need four Upper-House crossbenchers to back it when it was introduced in parliament next week.\n\nThe powers would allow the Victoria government to extend a state of emergency in four-week blocks for up to 12 months as well as greater powers to enforce mandatory quarantine, COVID safe plans for businesses and mandatory mask-wearing.\n\nMr Andrews defended the plan and argued getting back to normal 'won't ever be an option' if the state could not 'protect what it had already achieved'.\n\n'Extending State of Emergency is about ensuring that we can legally make the changes our health experts need to keep us safe, he said. \n\n'This does not change how long our current lockdown will last, or increase the restrictions we face.'\n\nImage: Getty\n\n DanielAndrewsMP Wake up. It's an ambit claim. Dictator Dan knows he's not going to get 12 months. He wants block's of 3 and that's what he'll get. The X benches will tumble and think they've done a great job. Where in fact they would have given him what he wants. Dills. DanielAndrewsMP Don’t extend it.Knowing Victorians they’ll not forget this at the ballot boxes.Peoples’ mental health, education, businesses, jobs and overall economy are struggling. An extension would cause problems. But implementation and embedding of strong policies and strategies would help. DanielAndrewsMP This is how a democracy slips into a dictatorship;Andrews is not a benign politician who is primarily interested in welfare of his citizens;Andrews is an IDEOLOGUE who is only interested in furthering his political interests;His political interests lie in bringing Socialism here.

Nationals leadership tilt possible after Qld election | Sky News AustraliaThere are reports senior Nationals MPs and party figures are once again mounting a destabilisation campaign against Michael McCormack to transition him out of the party leadership following the Queensland election.\n\nMr McCormack shrugged off any speculation stating he would 'not be drawn on unsubstantiated gossip' calling on any alleged conspirators to 'put their names to it'.\n\nCabinet ministers David Littleproud and Kieth Pitt have been floated as potential replacements.\n\nMr McCormack previously fended off a challenge by former leader Barnaby Joyce in a leadership spill back in February.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n M_McCormackMP I have no doubt McCormack is really decent bloke, but as a leader, he is invisible.

Dept CMO downplays fears of using foetal cells in vaccine development | Sky News AustraliaThe Deputy Chief Medical Officer has downplayed religious concerns over the use of foetal cells in the development of a coronavirus vaccine. \n\nCatholic Archbishop Anthony Fisher expressed concerns over the Oxford University trial drug which uses embryonic stem cells in manufacturing.\n\nDr Nick Coatsworth reassured people of faith, however, saying researchers worked according to a high ethical standard. \n\n“The reality for vaccines is that they need cell cultures in order for us to grow them, the human cell is a really important part of their development,” he said.\n\n“There are strong ethical regulations surrounding the use of any human cell, particularly foetal human cells.” \n\nImage: AP\n\n Well did you expect him to be critical of it? That’s reserved for proven treatments that are cheap and already on the shelf. Better to push and defend something that’s not even developed yet. How do you ease fears of people who are opposed to being injected with aborted foetus cells ? I must admit it does not inspire me, to have the jab ! Darwin Theory it is then.
