I find it odd that Aus, USA & the UK are telephoning Aus intention to China for a project which is 20 years # away from completion and at lest 10 years away from bending/welding metal.
This is why I think its political window-dressing leading up to next March's election of which, no doubt, anti China sentiment will play a role particularly among the working class.
IMO it would make more sense to devise a 20 year economic plan to drag Aus economically out of the Covid Recession, pay down our mountain of debt and give hope to our youth that the current generation is provisioning for them; rather than kicking the debt can down the road to impoverish them!
