"The chartered plane with 90 tons of medical supplies, including 100,000 most needed protective coveralls and 900,000 pairs of medical gloves, has successfully departed from Sydney and arrived in Wuhan on 24 Feb," Risland Australia posted on its LinkedIn page.
has previously reported another major Chinese developer was doing the same thing. Employees of Greenland Australia, a subsidiary of the Chinese government-backed global property giant Greenland Group, were instructed to put their normal work on hold and source bulk supplies of essential medical items to ship back to China.
As the surge of coronavirus infections increases, healthcare workers are becoming desperate. "The shortage of personal protective equipment in NSW hospitals is scandalous," one healthcare worker told the. "Doctors and nurses on the front line feel inadequately protected, exposed and vulnerable." "China-Australia work as one together to fight epidemic" reads the banner being held by Risland’s CEO Dr Guotao Hu , Ray Zi, general manager, human resources & administration and former communications manager Isaac Huo.
Kate_McClymont In a moralistic way, this is unacceptable l. i absolutely agree that Australia should limit the export on certain products like milk powder and medical supply. Australia gov should protect our people before selling them to other country.
Kate_McClymont China just SOLD 578million supplies to Spain ! I wonder where these came from? AUSTRALIAS EMPTY SHELVES !!!
Kate_McClymont IT WAS IN FEB, OK? SO FKING MISLEADING. WHAT ARE YOU GUYS TRYING TO DO HERE?
Kate_McClymont ScottMorrisonMP what are you doing on this? Throw them out! This should not go unpunished! Aussies are pissed! covid19australia auspol
Kate_McClymont These people should face criminal charges. It is totally treasonous what they have done. They have put their former homeland over the country they have become a citizen of. Therefore they should face the harshest penalties. This is worse than anything Julian Assange did.
Kate_McClymont If it’s illegal which I doubt ...Perhaps the Border force should be policing both ways on the borders or even just one of them ..Ffsk cutting about in black gear after the horse has bolted pointing fingers isn’t cutting it
Kate_McClymont Fair enough he probably didn’t realise the Australian government(s) were going to be so nyaff at containment here..ffsk all lives matter..I’d hazard a guess they were mostly made in China anyway..perhaps Australia shld be more into manufacturing obvious necessities not just coal
Kate_McClymont Did they break any trade laws or policies? If no but we think they were wrong then it is the problem of our law and policy. Back to the end of Feb. the number of infection was tens. Trade does not spread Virus but people does especially the people using mean words.
Kate_McClymont This is fake
Kate_McClymont This is so disgusting. Aust must stop foreign ownership of manufacturing and property.
Kate_McClymont They laugh in our faces,bathe in our weakness
Kate_McClymont The CCP burner accounts in this thread are hilarious.
Kate_McClymont Maybe this is why there was such a shortage of masks in Australia in early February. I always thought it strange as little evidence of Australians wearing masks then.
Kate_McClymont Certain circumstances require nationalization. End of the story..
Kate_McClymont Did it help? I hope it did and I hope the Chinese return the favour.
Kate_McClymont Time to put a stop to this.
Kate_McClymont Disgusting...how is this Australian?.Australian government allows foreign takeover but these companies do not care about Australia. Now what will happen with Australian milk,Dairy Farmers owned by a Chinese company.
Kate_McClymont Can the Chinese continue to donate supplies or not in this situation? seems we are stopping the assistance from China now. smh, you just want more clicks. So disappointed ~
Kate_McClymont PM says Australia is well prepared for looming COVID-19 pandemic in the late Feb. Aussies should anywhere!
Kate_McClymont The scale of the crisis was not understand beyond Wuhan at that time. The shops is Europe were also being raided by the Chinese ‘army’. I know this direct from a Chinese company doing it. The lesson for all is how quickly the Chinese govt can mobilise people. Very impressive.
Kate_McClymont Yeah thanks for stripping the works of supplies china
Kate_McClymont I bought 1500 face marks from China and now in the process of donating them to the local aged care centres. Let’s stop pointing figures but do something positive within our power. To quote “ when the world is at its worst, we human have to be at our best”. Please
Kate_McClymont 24th February? When Australia had about 20 cases and before the Australian Health Sector Emergency Response Plan for COVID-19 had been activated? But China had over 70,000 cases and thousands dead? So, why was this not newsworthy then, and is newsworthy now?
Kate_McClymont They should be deported it's un Australian why is the govt allowing this .now our people will be without and possibly die as a result we are already in short supply and it hasn't peaked yet
Kate_McClymont And now the virus is under control in China. They have over supply of medical goods and the items are being re-distributed and donated back to the places needed by the government and entrepreneurs. And trust me the Australian Chinese who can afford will do the same.
Kate_McClymont I received a lot of masks from a Chinese friend during bushfire season. I thanked my Chinese friends for the kindness so I got enough masks to use for myself and my family when the pandemic breaks out in sydney. Because of that I can then send to my friends in Hong Kong and US.
Kate_McClymont What ever function these companies perform in Australia their capability to carry on business should be ended.
Kate_McClymont Those companies purchased medical products in the market, they did not steal , it’s not against law. Family and friends were dying back in china, anyone can afford will try the best to help in disaster once in a century. And any companies and nationalities will do no difference.
Kate_McClymont Hello Kate, I am teary finished reading your article. It’s bad enough the Trump called covid19 Chinese virus and now you are linking the shortage of PPE to Chinese donating masks months ago? AU Chinese community will be singled out , there is a fear of racist comments already.
Kate_McClymont Was this a humanitarian effort?
Kate_McClymont F**k China
Kate_McClymont That's great now the CCP can sell it to other countries.
Kate_McClymont Lock them down
Kate_McClymont China had it's CNY in Jan that means all the factories were shut down for the biggest holiday of the year. COVID19 outbreak was at the same time so we were out of stock for those supplies. We were trying to control the virus.
Kate_McClymont SenatorWong you know people from Wuhan, maybe getting 80 tonne of same back to Australia should be your project.
Kate_McClymont China makes sure it looks after number 1. Australia needs to do the same and crack down on this parasitic behaviour. Shows the importance of national pride here in Australia and the importance of moving away from China economically and socially in the future
Kate_McClymont Oh fuk again! No word...
Kate_McClymont So are we still gonna blame China for this shit or our govt instead?
Kate_McClymont Now CCP sells the medical supplies at a ridiculously high price with poor quality or 'donate' them to other countries. BTW, how many medical supplies really go to Chinese citizens? CCPLiedPeopleDied HoldCCPAccountable WuhanCoronavirus
Kate_McClymont Well it’s a free country and Aus isn’t planned economy, so that company paid and Aus companies earned that’s it, that’s called trading. Plus, emphasis “Chinese” is just the way you lot to gain more eyeballs isn’t SMH? Double standard is just disgusting money talks anyway.
Kate_McClymont That is absolutely wrong , On so many levels. When will China actually apologize ,knowing fully well of the situation back in December.
Kate_McClymont Bring back Benny Hill. He’d sort them out.
Kate_McClymont China imported tons of medical stuff from Australia, like they do with dry baby milk. Tons of material was imported from other countries as well. Then, China went ahead and donated medical supplies to other countries to look like a good samaritan! Why was Corona limited to Wuhan?
Kate_McClymont Multiculturalism does not work! Every country's people need to be proud and fight for their own in their own country. This idea of living or conducting business in another country but being allied to a foreign country ends in tears. I have nothing against Chinese sending masks.
RBJRON Kate_McClymont Just so long as it isn’t the company we outsourced the National medical stockpile to in 2015-16.
Kate_McClymont We love you Chinese friends! You are caring friends of Australia 🇦🇺 Heil China 🇨🇳
Kate_McClymont It wasn’t a crisis here in February
AnnettaMallon Kate_McClymont did the Aus government allow this covid19australia
AnnettaMallon Kate_McClymont So did they take our medical supplies did they
Kate_McClymont Have we asked the companies and people involved if they can return the favour and source a similar quantity of essential equipment from China for Australia?
Kate_McClymont And our piss weak government just lets this shit happen! 🤯🤯
Kate_McClymont Wth we need to stop this asap!! 🤬🤬🤬
Kate_McClymont Makes you wonder if the Libs sanctioned this to help with the balance of payment trade deficit ?
karenricks Kate_McClymont Canada’s Justin Trudeau did the same thing in February.
Kate_McClymont Did they do it for charity or profiteering?
Kate_McClymont It happened in late February. Check what ScottMorrisonMP told the public about coronavirus then! The Australians were informed that we were very safe and they had well prepared.
Kate_McClymont
Kate_McClymont
Kate_McClymont Without government consent? 🤬🤬
Kate_McClymont This is late late Feb. But you media take this story to blame. Shame on you SMH
Kate_McClymont And ... we are supposed to like Chinese investment in Australia.
Kate_McClymont Good reason for China CCP to not release the true scope of the virus, so they could grab profits/products from other countries before they knew they would really need them, typical sneaky under handed tactics from China, never to be trusted
Kate_McClymont I see the Federated Union of China Bashers are in full voice today.
Kate_McClymont Let me guess that's why Bunnings has no PPE N95 masks?
Kate_McClymont A report from the US is that millions of test kits for C19 flown in from China have only a 30% reliability rate. The tests are being returned to China.
Kate_McClymont You mean exactly like the Australian Government did? How about you balance this with the news that China is sending medical teams and supplies to other countries now?
zhalli1 Kate_McClymont Kate our best journo in the land but this is just a red rag to a bull. You are getting the appropriate clicks now. Dickheads.
Kate_McClymont I'm pretty uncomfortable with this anti-Chinese tone taking hold in Australia. Everyone was very keen for China to buy our ore and for us to buy their cheap goods. China has been very good for Oz. Now, everyone's upset over a load of lifesaving medical supplies.
Kate_McClymont And AU, UK & USA aren't doing the same thing right now?
Kate_McClymont Sht. Just sht.
Kate_McClymont 🤬
Kate_McClymont How much did they pay ABF officers under the table to raid our kitty?
Kate_McClymont Chinese companies establish themselves in foreign countries and then take advantage of those countries when the time comes to protect their homeland!
Kate_McClymont Why the hell is this allowed!? It is the Chinese that empty our shelves! From baby formula to everything else. This company employs only Chinese people. How can this be accepted in Australia!! 😡😡😡😡
CaringConcern Kate_McClymont I had a friend in ICU in Feb. Masks were still in extremely short supply because of bushfire smoke. Heavy rationing even in respiratory wards. Pallets of masks were being stolen from hospital loading docks. Suppliers were sending large consignments to fake Oz medical customers.
Kate_McClymont 2 days in a row you put stories that intent to elicit public outrage on China & Chinese community here on front page of your newspaper. Your intention is clear as a sunny day. These companies did nothing illegal. Australians are free to purchase medical supplies from China too.
Kate_McClymont what is the purpose of this post? Turning Australians’ blame, hate and focus from slow responding government to China, which always attracts people’s criticism because of its political system? Our media are soo good at this
Kate_McClymont 1. Happened in Feb. Hand sanitizer not in short stock. Aus gov not recommend face masks. 2. They definitely direct purchase from suppliers, not hire someone to bulk purchase from supermarket. 3. I'm 100% sure they will do the same to help aus fight againt virus. Shameless Media
Kate_McClymont 😡. PeterDutton_MP is hopefully on their case.
Your headline says “flies” but your article says “flew”... big difference. You shouldn’t dog whistle in the headline like that.
Kate_McClymont The amount of Chinese apologists here is ridiculous..I hope people see the ccp bot accounts, it’s hard to miss them they all have English names now lol.. the fact is they knew a deadly virus was coming and conversely hid it from us while hoarding Australian supplies to send back
Kate_McClymont I can only read the first paragraph but it says this guy flew supplies into a disaster area in feb ... history says a fortnight later Scott Morrison was saying he was going to the footy and looking forward to it.
Kate_McClymont Big deal. Money talks. They haven't done anything illegal. If you have a customer that wants all of your stock, why wouldn't you sell it.
Kate_McClymont The issue is there is no legislation to ban exports hence the chinese developer was not in breach of laws. He also probably saw it as a patriotic and humanitarian move by helping china in distress. We will need new legislation to prevent this if we do not want a repeat episode.
Kate_McClymont This is organized by CCP! They are criminals! AU must take actions!
Kate_McClymont taxpayers have paid so much money into home affairs and border force... where the hell are they
Kate_McClymont Wasn't the SMH saying the PM was racist for banning flights from China.
Kate_McClymont deport him and colleagues. Shutdown his development. Never be allowed to return to Australia
Kate_McClymont Lots of CCP trollbots on this thread....
jaquix173 Kate_McClymont Please note - late February. China is sending PPE gear world wide. In case you’ve missed the fact that this is a GLOBAL PANDEMIC
Kate_McClymont IN LATE FEBRUARY. All Chinese people overseas were trying hard to get these resources to support Wuhan at that time. Your suppliers made money from it and you guys were looking on Chinese embarrassment. You didn’t report this at that time but move it out now? What a cheap act!
Kate_McClymont Will government take action against this Chinese business men? I don’t think so ScoMo is bit scared to take any action against these people. Now they enjoying life and our life got lost
Kate_McClymont Great job in investigating this and many more you have yet to discover. This should be a sign of why this particular country expanded globally. It is colonizing but by stealth and the West is too preoccupied to realize.
Kate_McClymont And
Kate_McClymont There is nothing to blame here, u sell they buy…either way,they sell u buy
Kate_McClymont Is this a piece of NEWS? You guys don’t have other thing to report? Like the hospital bed capacity in AU? AU gov can also purchase from China to relieve the current overwhelming. Not a big deal at all.
Kate_McClymont China might return the favour ..do we know they haven't?
Kate_McClymont MarisePayne, This is a great opportunity to build bridges & source supplies for Australia. We didn't have an emergency at the time & their emergency has passed - this is a great time for co-operation. You are a diplomat - let's see what you can do! auspol.
Kate_McClymont Most Asians look alike, so I do not wish to be the one to jump to conclusions, but isn’t it worthwhile investigating, how many politicians/family members or ppl in high positions are betrothed or married to people of Chinese descent!Cause for conflict of interest?
Kate_McClymont Just like our milk formula
Kate_McClymont Thnx It is important which company the stuff was bought off and how much Where the profit went Is this company getting government subsidy which is effectively Australian tax payets money etc etc
Kate_McClymont See this Karen? This is how you hoard. You going to every supermarket every day buying a slab of bog roll just shows how much of an amateur you are
Kate_McClymont Very frustrated that if you criticise China, its government, their wet markets and their MAJOR role in starting all this, you are declared a racist etc.
Kate_McClymont I don’t get why this is a news story. We’re happy to embrace global trade. We’re happy to accept global investment. We’re happy to support agile behaviour and taking the initiative. If our govt is incapable of responding fast, I don’t see how media shaming of competency helps
Kate_McClymont Surprising that a large consignment of medical supplies was allowed to leave the country without check / question by the authorities, and ordinary people are unable to send 6 x 50 ml bottles of hand sanitizer to an affected area overseas, where this product was in short supply!
bencubby Kate_McClymont Right?! So now said developer can do the same for us. Get that plane full of PPE ventilators and help us here!!!
Kate_McClymont Time to start cancelling visas and cancelling permits. Ship these pricks back to where they came from. We will NOT forget.
Kate_McClymont and this might have help to slow down and reduce the number of case make the whole world saver. This is no a country issue but a world issue
Kate_McClymont Did you checked millions medical supplies already on the way or already in Australia now to solve the real problems. What’s your purpose about this article?
Kate_McClymont Border Farce strike again.... It's not illegal....
bencubby Kate_McClymont Not sure why people are outraged when this is the very style of free market that the IPA encourages
Kate_McClymont China ain't no friend of Australia, Communism no friend to anyone
Kate_McClymont And the Australian government is doing what?
toninicho Kate_McClymont WTF
Kate_McClymont QuicoSalles gallifantes pilarcarracelas els avions que busquen a Madrid! Ja han arribar...a Sydney
Kate_McClymont No secret at all. What the fuss about it? You better investigate where the Australian stockpiled the 20mil facemasks in Feb. Why the frontline medic are so short of PPE. Aha you try to shift the blame
devalara44 Kate_McClymont Can someone from the MSM please have the guts to ask him why these companies were able to get so many medical supplies out of Oz knowing we would need them and if they will be allowing this with food or other supplies?
Kate_McClymont How many confirmed cases in Australia in Feb? NZ PM Jacinda Arden asked all to united to fight COVID19 m, yet here in Australia your media is publishing rubbish news to create unnecessary panic and hate between races! RacismIsAVirus ScottMorrisonMP AnnastaciaMP vanOnselenP
Kate_McClymont Don’t blame these guys. Blame the vacuous political landscape that opened up everything! Even exploiting their own country, the lives of fellow citizens and the nation’s stability. A political pox.
Kate_McClymont Australians don’t wear masks anyway. 😹
Kate_McClymont This is so disgusting. I cannot get hand sanitizer, gloves or masks
Kate_McClymont This shitty stuff tells me how Aussie mainstream will mislead the country to a catastrophe
Kate_McClymont Such a useless media to mislead audience now in the pandemic crisis. This was the time when China need help, why don't you report how many millions of masks and how many ventilator are been delivered from China now? More racism gonna start, putting Asian Australian at risk!
Kate_McClymont Stop saying that shit!!! Let’s fight covid-19 together!
Kate_McClymont Grubs!
Kate_McClymont Such a useless media to mislead audience not in the pandemic crisis. This was the time when China need help, why don't you report how many millions of masks and how many ventilator are been delivered from China now? More racism gonna start, putting Asian Australian at risk!
Kate_McClymont That’s what you get if you can’t produce anything.
Kate_McClymont Who the fuk do these dickhead's think they are!
Kate_McClymont All quite legal. You have to ask was our government asleep? Why weren't we stockpiling (hoarding) PPE rather than toilet paper?
Kate_McClymont Isn't Clive trying to buy up supplies of an unproven drug globally and fly them back on private jets?
Kate_McClymont Now they can fly the same and even more back to Australia within 48 hours. These sort of actions are the reason Australian's and other nationalities now mistrust PRC Chinese businesses & people.
GeoffField Kate_McClymont Funny seeing comments saying this is ok. These products were for Australians.
Kate_McClymont Chellaney ICYMI
Kate_McClymont Tesla is doing the same thing buy tones of medical supplies from China to America. Hope our australia companies can do the same to help Australia.
Kate_McClymont Take them out the back of Badgerys Creek and shoot them, same as the CCP does to its dissidents
Kate_McClymont MSF also shipped tons of medical to China. Why wasn't our gov preparing for the EXPECTED pandemic?
Kate_McClymont China already owns most of Australia, so who is really surprised? Look at the Chinese Baby Food export scandal.... same shit, different product
Kate_McClymont Dr Guotao Hu should be arrested his company shut down his plane seized.
Kate_McClymont Please investigate who the suppliers are? What are their contacts? Are they normal commercial activities? Late Feb, interesting!
Kate_McClymont I would do the same too. Not like in Australia where people are still going to the beach and scomo still half arsing around.
Kate_McClymont World-famous microbiologist Sir Macfarlane Burnet, the Nobel prize winner revered as Australia's greatest medical research scientist, secretly urged government to develop biological weapons for use against .. 'overpopulated' countries of South-East Asia.
Kate_McClymont How is this allowed to happen?
Kate_McClymont Friends in China are sending masks to Australian via express courier, let’s fight against the coronavirus together.
Kate_McClymont HIGHLIGHT : IN LATE FEBRUARY.
Kate_McClymont Legitimately purchased goods transported to people who needed them. Where's the story? Is that a dog whistle I hear? Right now Australian companies / governments are seeking to bring tonnes of Chinese medical supplies to Australia.
Kate_McClymont A bit what Australia did to Timor-Leste with their gas reserves...
Kate_McClymont How did customs let’s it happen ?
Kate_McClymont 🦗🦗🦗
Kate_McClymont Put yourself in their situation. If you were in China and Australia had a serious medical crisis that you could alleviate by buying and sending medical supplies from China, would you do it? Why is this even a story?
Kate_McClymont Unbelievably selfish whoever done it obviously has no regard for any Australians
