I normally do not comment on politics or religion.
But I confess to not understanding how the Australian Federal Government is to allow the 100 year lease of Darwin harbour to a Chinese firm. China is spreading its wings commercially and militarily. In the last 30 years or so, China has transformed itself from an agrarian peasant state to a manufacturing giant. I have looked for Australian made products and except for cars, most of the goods for sale emanate from the PRC.
I recently bought a worm farm and was pleasantly surprised to see it was manufactured in Australia. Searching the house I cannot see anything else I have bought in the last 10 years made in Australia.
Darwin port has a RAAF base alongside it and there is a U.S. presence there in the form of shipping and approximately 1500 Marines on rotation.
Dumb policy move Australia.
