@ttward; ever since WW2 the Coalition has rolled out '
The Communist Threat' prior to almost every election and aimed at scaring people into thinking Reds are under their beds and are copying the WW2 Japanese model and progressively coming to Australia via 'domino countries' from Vietnam to Indonesia.
That flawed 'thinking' is deeply ingrained in the psyche of poorly informed, insular and gullible Australians and a key tool in the Coalition's propaganda war-chest.
Having made a mess of almost everything he's ever touched as PM Morrison has now decided to play the 'Communist Card' - already badly damaging our relationship with China and France and raising regional concerns throughout SE Asia.
It won't go well from here on either, as we can expect both the EU and China to punish our exports and maybe even starve us of Covid19 vaccine supplies and reduce their levels of investment in Australia.
