More of the usual Socialist HATE STUFF from the inarticulate hate filled Socialist Extremist Reddy.
Reddy, why don't you beg MUNK to let you back into his Socialist Snake Pit site ? You would feel totally at home there drinking Socialist HATE with like minded Socialists seething with HATE.
And I like to stir silly old Reddy up. Reddy why are you always so angry ? Do you have the VIRUS ?
As a Socialist Extremist you should be ecstatic with all the Socialist handouts going down at the moment. Did you manage to crack any of them or was Centrelink awake up to you ?
1, Australia has been imposing hefty duties on Chinese steel, aluminium and chemicals for much of the past decade. For example, steel pipes imported from China those tariffs are currently as high as 144 per cent.
2, Scomo and Liberal banned Huawei without tangible security breach evidences.
3, Liberal Andrew Hastie made up espionage case --- Wang Liqiang.
4, Scomo and Liberal followed US to investigate China only for coronavirus handling. Actually, most Australia imported coronavirus cases were from America.
Australia biggest customer for trading got hurt again and again. Now, Australia just got a small hit back and whole country seems screaming. Why we shouldn't blame ScoMo and Liberal? Apparently, Liberal's behavior seems an American puppy and didn't care about Australian interests. We need politicians care more about Australia interests not America.
China is well known for dumping inferior products and so Australia protects itself. Recall the flammable building cladding products ?
But ScoMo is looking to export to other countries. Wonder if China will keep trying to get Australian baby food formula and virus products ?
