However, he said the coronavirus has motivated the world to look more closely at “what this deal involves”. The deal involves everything from the quality of Chinese goods, to the reduced cost of Chinese labour, which “in certain cases could be labelled as slave labour”," he told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “We’ve accepted that trade-off because we wanted cheap things … and that has come at a huge price”.
“Over the last couple of decades we’ve traded away so much industry, manufacturing and all sorts of skillset which we have allowed to disappear off to China”. In the wake of China’s “belligerence” over the coronavirus, the western world is suddenly realising “oops maybe that wasn’t such a great deal after all”.

It’s the responsibility of purchaser to validate any information for the supply, product, component, part or raw materials. It’s called due diligence then the purchaser has a choice to buy or not. Initiating hate & rasim on different cultures is unethical & not called for.
25 years ago, China Did Not just develop cheap industry.... Western countries, US UK French German Italian Japanese capitalist, uprooted industries & moved to China, where cheap labour & cost were exploited! Now the Chinese learnt & grew, the same western oligarchs blame China?
Some Australian journalists and news channel leaders universities are destroying Australia China has spread the virus among these people. If the Australian government has not introduced any vaccine, then the Chinese virus will eliminate Australia.
You’ve just discovered this now. Really. No-one says trade isn’t good for people and prosperity but there must be a resilient and affordable local supply for all necessary goods. Sometimes government intervention can help - who knew? As long as AngusTaylorMP isn’t in charge...
Honestly, greed is human nature. But middle class in the West can afford medium priced goods that are of better quality & without blood from people under communist rule. When you think of the blood, it may encourage you to buy products from your own country. BoycottChina

SAY byebye to AUSTRIALIA PRODUCTS, CHINA DO NOT NEED!
The West had an expectation that China seeing the benefits to it's economy and gaining a middle class would change politically. But in no way has that happened, in fact China as large as it is has succeeded to gain an unfair advantage by dominating any industry it targets.
Probably saying that whilst using phone made in china

Labor urges govt to include social housing in its HomeBuilder scheme | Sky News AustraliaLabor has urged the government to include social housing in its $688 million HomeBuilder scheme, arguing the current package is 'not big enough and not targeted enough' to boost the construction sector.\n\nUnder the proposal unveiled by Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Thursday, Australians wanting to build a new home or make major renovations will now be eligible for $25,000 grants to turbo-charge the construction industry.\n\nTo be eligible, individual applicants must earn less than $125,000 a year, or $200,000 for couples.\n\nThey must also sign a contract between July and December, and the new home can only be worth up to $750,000. \n\nThose wanting to renovate, must spend at least $150,000 on the work.\n\nShadow Minister for Home Affairs Kristina Keneally told Sky News she is concerned 'about the overall design of the program.'\n\n'We are going to be spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars and we are not going to see the benefit of increasing social housing stock,' she said.\n\n'Providing homes for mums fleeing domestic violence, veterans sleeping in parks, frontline workers who have worked very hard during this crisis and often can't get accommodation close to their work.\n\n'These are the real heroes, these are the real people we should be concerned about in the community.'\n\n KKeneally Forget social housing. How about those who actually bought a mortgage and a bomb of a house, because that's all they can afford? Working class can't afford to fix their homes. KKeneally Possibly the only thing I’ll ever agree with kkeneally on. KKeneally The criteria for this scheme is way out of reach of most people it shows how out of touch the government is. Just another benefit for the wealthier.

The public is growing tired of ‘the hypocrisy and timidity of our governments’ | Sky News AustraliaState governments are happy to shut beaches or fine people for sitting in a park yet they “don’t have the spine” to force protesters to comply with the same set of rules the rest of us are subject to according Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\nHe said people are running out of patience with “the hypocrisy and timidity of our governments and the complicity of our media” as there are seemingly laws applied to some but not others in the country. \n\n“Through the pandemic we have had the bulk of the media, the politically correct club of journalists, led by the public broadcasters generating fear with wildly catastrophic predictions”. \n\nThey cheered “for every authoritarian lockdown measure by government” and then failed to admit when they were wrong even in the face of concerned citizens looking to keep their businesses alive and their jobs intact. \n\n “Families have had to miss out on saying farewell to loved ones because of limits on funerals but protesters can have immunity,” Mr Kenny said.\n\n“This is pathetic, this does not represent a fair go, this exposes the weakness and hypocrisy of politicians and governments.”\n\nAs many as 50,000 people are expected to take to the streets of Melbourne on Saturday to protest the death of African-American man George Floyd who was killed in police custody last week in America.\n\nImage: Getty Agree The whole thing's a farce now，bet the majority of these people will blame Cummings when most of them never respected it for more than a month tops You're not allowed to stand against the woke masses; that's political suicide.

However, Mr Kenny said the 'opportunistic lawlessness' has been 'frightening to see' around the country.\n They are all watching the tv's they stole. And peaceful protests are always welcome. 🙌 'Millions'? 😂😂😂
