Dan has signed up to an understanding that is questionable at best and dangerous at worst with the B&R initiative.

Deal Daniel Andrews can’t back out of

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews is facing an increasingly awkward situation as Australia-China relations plunged to a new low this week.

Interesting that Dan has escaped criticism for his condemnation of the infamous tweet. I note Albanese also slammed China. But only Scomo has copped a whack for poor diplomacy. Below was Albanese's view.

Opposition leader Anthony Albanese joined Morrison in criticising the tweet.

“I join with the Prime Minister in his condemnation of the tweet directed at the men and women of the Australian Defence Force that was published earlier today,” Albanese told the House of Representatives on Monday.

“It is gratuitous, inflammatory and deeply offensive.

“Australia’s condemnation of this image is above politics and we all stand as a nation in condemning it.”

So the LNP deal on the Harbour and the subsequent grift is completely fine by you. Got it.

No. Please point out where I endorsed it?

Sorry I don’t drink the right bad left good koolaid. Both sides are as bad as each other when it comes to corruption and full of self serving hypocrites.

"They are all as bad as each other" is a nihilistic, intellectually weak cop-out.

You think it's only politicians from the right that abuse their position?

Definitely not. Judge each case on their merits I say.

 

[Giardiasis]

No but it makes a mockery of the argument that Dan Andrews and anyone who supports him are puppets of the CCP, unless the LNP are also considered the same.

They are all the same.

They're all from the right.

Says the man who quoted my post but didn't address one bit of it but instead made a sweeping assumption on my thoughts? Cool.

Yep. Both sides as bad as each other you said.

I see our present negative relationship with China is simply a reasonable and clear-eyed response to Chinese policies. You can only sweep things under the rug for so long.

What are they hiding? Given the costs to the global economy, countries should start sanctions against China.

China are acting just the way great powers act - like arrogant sh**s.
