arrrh, no - They - particularly Morrison has been pointlessly reckless in stirring up trouble with China

he began his stupidity without any discussion with other world leaders when everyone was in the middle of the Covid battlefield by opening his trap and sprouting for an international investigation into China and Covid.

European leaders were aghast at his ridiculousness at the time.

Then, he had to scurry around gathering support for it because he had nothing - just a big gob.

All that was bad enough - but, China is our biggest trading partner and the trade relationship had been put at risk already by the brilliance of Donald Trump’s trade war.

then Morrison wonders why the Chinese were miffed.

now - he AGAIN opens his big mouth IN PUBLIC about Hong Kong

all of these actions were totally pointless and unnecessary

we would have had an inquiry anyway and we could have quietly accepted people from Hong Kong - but, did it behind closed doors and not standing in the street yelling like a dickwit

what his actions have done is to make a diplomatic nightmare and quite probably put Australia in a very precarious economic position

all for absolutely nothing

Good points there.
As I've said before he was STUPID to open his mouth re: the inquiry. We can get the same result by pushing a narrative via diplomatic channels. And I suspect you are correct on the HK visas - Aus can achieve this without a trumpet and fanfare - delivering the message through the correct channels with the right level of noise.

Nothing is to be gained by beating your chest - except for striking a chord with part of his target audience.
Will big business pull him into line?
