China has insatiable hunger for land in asia, fish in all the seas, and Australia. Any idea why? It's not like they use all of it. At some point most nations would deem it not worth the trouble to constantly be doing this bickering with all of their neighbours, I dont see that with China. One might say that they have only perfected the US system, but China does it a whole other tone-deaf way.

#42Please raise your hand if you trust the head of a spy agency to tell the truth.
Yeah this is really important. ASIO was politicised from its very beginning, spending enormous amounts of its history "investigating" the Labor Party, Australia's opposition party in the duopoly.

Chinese in Australia vote Libreal which is our Ulta-Conversative Ring-Wing party (so backwards)
This is 100% bullshit made up by our corrupt government just like it does every year during an election. Literly the definition of fake news right here. labor or the greens dont stand a chance, they have no connections in the media and couldnt get a fake news story started even if it wanted.
Australia is controlled by mining magnate racist f*cks who only care about becoming even bigger billionaires, keeping the asians out and retaining power/land-rights by owning media/large corporations in regional areas, demonising the aboringal cultures while scamming them for land-rights, and play yet "we love the working class card", sponsor the best sporting events, and literly lie and cheat and steal until to reinforce there own corruption.
its a solid game-plan thats been refined over the last 25yrs and turned this country into a backwater of political scammers and donars elite.

>spinning this to claim that the Labor party are friendly to China. Sorry but this is ridiculous. The Labor party are openly friendly with China, this isn't some kind of spin. Not only that, but their supporters in the left wing media are even more so. If anyone doubts that, have a read of this article from the main left-wing news site in Australia that is, no joke, trying to spin this into a story about anti-vaxers…

Which news site are you referring to?

Both major parties here are friendly with ASIO, having both given them enough overreaching powers over the last 20 years that they've pretty much got free reign to do whatever they want.
The CCP is probably just bankrolling whoever they think will be sympathetic, Gladys Liu is a Liberal with a giant question mark over her head at the moment.

If only we could somehow harness hatred as an energy source, it would be the ultimate renewable.
Re: Australian spy agency disrupts foreign election interference
#48This news report just looks like slinging dirt at Labour. The details seem very vague. Really this seems like some sort of scare piece.
The true enemy to the Australian people is the Liberal party itself.
If you are Australian vote them out.

Honestly, I read the ABC all the time and the editorial position is very clearly anti-CCP. Stan Grant in particular is one of the most ardent and consistent critics of Xi Jinping, posting articles about their military expansion and increasing concentration of power even when nothing in particular has happened that week to prompt it.
Stating that one particular party, or any reputable media organisation (ABC and The Guardian are two I read) supports the CCP or apologises for them is ridiculous.

Ok maybe I was being overly hyperbolic before, but the facts here are clear:
The CCP used people in Australia to get close to, and pay off, politicians who they thought would be inclined to favor their cause. Every single one of them belonged to the Labor party. I don't think anyone can call this spin, and I don't think any honest person would doubt that the media would be going absolutely bananas right now if all these people were Liberal party. Hell, they even tried to smear a Liberal party politician as a Chinese spy simply because she was a member of an overseas student club, that is how low they would sink.
As for Stan Grant, he has been approached multiple times by both the National party and Liberal party to run for parliament with them. He was then put into the ABC by Ida Buttrose after she came to the ABC with express goal of evening out the extreme left wing bias at the ABC. His purpose at being at the ABC is literally to give a different perspective to their usual stuff.
As for the ABC and Guardian, they are constantly pushing their audience to believe that democracy is deeply flawed. They are also constantly talking about what an amazing economic system China has and that their model is the way of the future. The only reason they are anti CCP in particular is because the entire word-wide left turned anti-China back in January 2019 overnight.
