kimbakit Let's say it how it is! No need 2 go soft on China who's commited a crime against humanity! There's no justification/excuse 2 not confront a country who's government has lied intentionally by covering up information which was necessary 2 know 4 preventing a worldwide catastrophe!

kimbakit China has practically commited a crime towards humanity. All countries worldwide should cut all business relationships with China. Just look in what situation we are in now! People worldwide are dieing or are very I'll from the virus. The economy is dramatically suffering.

kimbakit Is kimba familiar with paper bags ?

kimbakit Just “unfortunate”, tell that to the relatives of the (more than) 10,000 dead in Italy. I consider a 15th century adjective more appropriate to describe the situation & those men in China’s government.

kimbakit Really ..... “ unfortunate “ Really ..... “ unfortunate “ Really ......” unfortunate “ Labor numb nut !

kimbakit Even after China warned others for months, still no one took it seriously.

kimbakit It’s a shame Trump did too.

kimbakit China is the biggest fascist state on the planet and the biggest threat to world peace since the Third Reich. However, our politicians keep looking for excuses to fund and enable that regime.

kimbakit Unfortunate is an understatement. How about criminal

kimbakit How do they live with themselves?

kimbakit So sad - everyone has to struggle

kimbakit Yet, China hit the virus hard fast and decisive.... And no one paid attention. Morons.. If stage 1-2-3 fail its clear countries like Australia UK US have been incompetent processing the information, and earlier warning would have meant Jack 5hit...

kimbakit Get fxxx'd you useless australian politicians

kimbakit Not stop China, by not letting thm buy Australia. Stop if you can.

kimbakit Unfortunate? They should be slapped with sanctions & our business moved to Vietnam & India! Time to slay the Dragon! BoycottChina ChineseVirus auspol ChinaMustPay ChineseBioterrorism coronavirus ChineseWuhanVirus

kimbakit It’s outrageous. But a government being deceptive and people dying isn’t solely a CCP issue is it? I seem to recall our country invading and helping destroy Iraq over some deceptive “intelligence”... Plus, in Australia, most cases came from USA, EU and cruise ships.

kimbakit Communist murderers !

kimbakit Unfortunate!!! Typical Labor response. Try criminal. Try morally reprehensible.

kimbakit Unfortunately,don't think so,deceiving bloody liars would be more appropriate.

kimbakit

kimbakit Yea, it's 'unfortunate' , at least they capable flatten the curve. We knew it's coming, even we banned they coming, look at the numbers soaring high within 2 weeks. Definitely very 'unfortunate'. Your intention is pretty obvious

kimbakit Unfortunate ? It’s nothing short of biological warfare.

kimbakit Unfortunate or intentional? I would guess intentionally. The World will want to know in the near future........

kimbakit 'Deliberate' does not start with the letter 'u.'

kimbakit 🛑⭕️⛔️❌🦠🦠chinese 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️💣🇨🇳☠️👹👿🐍🗡🗡🗡🤛🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻😡😡😡😡😡

kimbakit China need to become international pariahs. Every institution they have been allowed into they have worked to corrupt. They need to have their catastrophic loss of face made very clear to them. Trolling them is the way to go in my view. But who to do it?

kimbakit China did tried to cover up last December , but did not succeed. The news was widely out in January. Anyone still remember Chinatown becoming ghost town? Yeah, that was in January.

kimbakit Yes, together with the WHO. Could have given the west a lot more time to prepare and saved many lives in Italy and Spain. I guess china will always be china.

kimbakit Wet markets these people killing dogs and cats fkn anamalistic pigs

kimbakit (Was seen leaving with an Aldi bag under arm)

kimbakit Speech written be Bob Carr ?

kimbakit The WHO was notified on December 31st. Where the breakdown happened is the question.

kimbakit What data that the authorities knew about it in October?

kimbakit It was fortunate that the Chinese government got caught out, for it would've been far worse had they not been!

kimbakit Labor for the first time in 3 decades tries to distance it's self from the CCP and i must say it's 'unfortunate' they seemed to have failed!

kimbakit Typical of them !!

kimbakit Unfortunate isn’t a word I would have used

kimbakit It’s a tad bit worse than unfortunate

kimbakit Its disgrace that coalition is going let China off scot free because weak pricks want protecting free trade agreements its bull shit

kimbakit Well it’s not fortunate 🤷‍♂️

kimbakit But we banned them since January. The information I got from other media are most of confirmed cases are from US. I think SKY try to cover up US from public eyes. Look at Barossa.

kimbakit Unfortunate!? I could think of better words.

kimbakit 'Unfortunate' you thinks its 'Unfortunate'? Clowns.

kimbakit Unfortunate - NO. Deceptive - YES.

kimbakit Unfortunate?

kimbakit Why do people expect anything else from China? It amazes me every day that people think China are our friends.
