Agreed they are dictatorships. As for "you lot", no I don't relate both together, I posted the diff in my previous post correctly re read. Overall by your above post we have similar POV's in that case. I don't wish for the Gov to sell out completely to private companies etc for yes all would get out of hand, trouble is they have sold alot hence the issues were dealing with day to day living nowadays. I sure wished that our Gov kept many untilities under their control. I recall the days well but the almighty $ rules, our country developed quickly compared to many in the past and now were in the poop so to speak. If you have reviewed my earlier posts or maybe its another thread, despite biting my own hand I deal alot with China with my business interests and at the same time damn annoyed its all come to this BUT the general consumer today and back further wants the lot for less as well. People whinge whats going on BUT do they change their buying habits ? not that I can see. Its a viscious circle mate more like a whirlpool. In finishing socialism is not a dirty word as long as Labour isn't in gov more than 1-2terms

Maybe the returning coal ships could be be filled with Kangas, Koalas and authentic triangular green & gold Aussie made logos?

They have already complained about us "interfering in the chinese legal system", by trying to get a lawyer to see her, which she hasn't been able to do in the 6 months or so since she has been arrested

yer I understood elsewhere Embassy officials have seen once or twice only.
Imagine 6mths - originally just disappeared from the face of the earht, all her media was wiped out, all her family more so her kid here - imagine what was going through their minds. She is probably being set up by the CCP. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-55975542

I was reading the other day that the CCP has threatened sanctions on countries that boycott the winter Olympics next year. What a bunch of lovely angry ****s they are.
I hope a lot of countries including Australia get together and do just that. No ****en way I would go there anyway. |

One good thing that has come out of this Covid crap is having my eyes opened up to stuff like state vs federal govt. I find it incredible this sort of deal could be instigated by a state without the knowledge of our PM, unbelievable to me really. |

Thats the problem here period, pandemic has really shown up our old laws/constitution etcetcetc......
Its every State for itself and then lets blame the Feds or visa versa. In the meantime between all these wood ducks its our tax payer dollars being sqaundered and squeezing us for more. Its a visious circle and then we have wood duck Dan justifying its jobs for Vics, well what about the big picture you big OX of the year nominee. Palashay pressures Feds to keep Job Keeper past March for her Qldr's, you have made them suffer not us you you know what......

I thought the best time to tear it up was the day the laws passed
. It would seem a formality but who knows. |

The Quad is gathering momentum to push against China even under a new US administration. So far Biden is not being soft on this.
When these CCP "fishing" vessels harass our navies in international waters then turn them into target practice. No BS. If some of our "allies" want to play mouse that is OK so long as they don't undermine those willing to do the heavy lifting. |
