Albo bends to China because he knows they pay the entitlement cheques. That is a decent slab of their voter base. How? The royalties from iron ore and coal prop up Labor states. China breaks the rules and the govt tries to placate them. Scommo stood up to China, and the left wing media attacked him. You cant make this stuff up. China knows its economy would collapse during a conflict as we would turn off the iron ore and coal. They do not like us for it and are in the process of diversifying. China needs to flex its muscles every now and then, and sometimes its ok to make them feel they have some power to save face. We are the good guys and China does not follow the rules. The illegal China trade ban on Australia was tolerated for political reasons. Labor got them turned back on by giving something else away. Nothing is free from an authoritarian state. Labor hard left are also pro-China and pro big brother. They have some common ground. It has always been that way. I don't think people have worked out how deep their ties really are. Our uni's have filled up with di*khead socialist Marxist types. They are directly linked to China and Russia. Most of them dont even know why they do things and who runs the game. Some of the professors are well-known communists across multiple unis for decades. Why would they promote and tolerate anti-Semitism and promote a terror group as being victims? The left are pandering to the Muslim vote the same way they pander to the China vote. Its about votes and power. The country's best interests are not always front and centre.
Keating quote- 'When it comes to the National interest or self-interest, I will back self-interest winning every time. This is why the Unions fund Labor. It is not about helping Australians as a group. They are a business. Political parties like to pretend they are doing the right thing. They have armies of PR wankers spreading false promises like fertiliser.
