We should soon be exporting 500,000 million tonnes of barley to India. There are other markets out there too. Let China buy an inferior product from elsewhere.

Mr Christensen told Sky News hosts Alan Jones and Graham Richardson Australia should consider using the clause in the Port of Darwin lease contract with China which renders the deal null and void in the case of a national security emergency.

“If we don’t get the beef and barley back pronto and stop talking about other industries, we can actually take some action of our own, then it is a trade war”.




Australia should threaten China with taking back Port of Darwin: Christensen
13/05/2020

LNP MP George Christensen said when responding to the coronavirus, Communist China “corralled the problem for themselves, and sent (the virus) across the world”.

Mr Christensen has called China’s recent trade actions against Australia a “bastard act,” and said it was far “too convenient and too much of a coincidence” that only weeks after the government called for a global inquiry into COVID-19, for China to then threaten tariffs.

China has given the nation’s barley producers ten days before potentially imposing close to an 80 per cent tax on its barley imports.

“These are not the actions of a reputable trading partner”.

This comes as an ongoing committee into the need for diversification in Australia’s trade relationships – chaired by Mr Christensen – is preparing to call on the ambassador to give testimony.

“China’s got form on this sort of coercion when it comes to trade and mixing trade with politics".

BigP predicts with such confidence.

But China wants to seize control of Australia by any means. And it needs our iron ore and clean food and baby food and ...

And our War Time PM is up there fresh from his victory over the Chinese Virus. And he is in fighting mood with Trump at his side and lots of other countries as well all wanting to know how China let the virus out and was it deliberate ?

And, even MORE important, was this weak virus just a rehearsal for a much deadlier version ?

Is this all part of the UN's plan to reduce the world population as required by AGENDA 2030 and the UN's One World Socialist "Govt" in a Sustainable World ?

Or more cynical, was this a plan to reduce the WELFARE cost of keeping sick and elderly unproductive people alive ?

""BigP predicts with such confidence.""


Lets call it an educated guess mate, To have a war you need to be able to return fire, I would doubt you have anything big enough to scare them,

Or you may find this is just Beijing doing a little saber rattling to get a few minds focused in Canberra , An open letter of apology may be all that is needed, You guys swallow a bit of pride and a disaster is averted :clap

And it was only the other day NSW Labor was receiving bribes from China and Mr Been was negotiating with them.

How ScoMo handles this tariff war will be very interesting.

Agreed. He's played a cautious, pragmatic game so far. I hope he continues in that way.

He should team up with corporates that actually make things, to build a new, more self-sufficient and advanced Australia.

If Australia hadn't handed out so much welfare and free money over the years you would now be in a great position to be more advanced and self sufficient ,,
