Liberal MP DavidDavisMLC says 'it is a scandal' the Andrews government has signed contracts with a Chinese business with links to Uighur labour 'without proper checks and balances'.

15/06/2021Liberal MP David Davis says "it is a scandal" the Andrews government has signed contracts with a Chinese business with links to Uighur labour "without proper checks and balances". The Andrews government has purchased train parts for a $2.4 billion metro project from Chinese suppliers linked to Uighur workers, choosing to remain with the company because finding a new supplier would cause delays and cost too much. "Last year Jacinta Allan was pressed about this..

and she said no it's all fine, nothing to see here, I've been briefed by the department and it's all fine," he said. "Now we went and said, let's see those documents... what the department had done is they had written to the train suppliers and asked if they used slave labour and they came back unsurprisingly with a no. "It's like asking your kids to mark their own homework.

DavidDavisMLC What about TimStewart & QAnon. While I think of it? Is BernieFinn condoning the USCapitolHillRiots? People who live in glass houses. Shouldn’t throw stones.

DavidDavisMLC They only care about the benefit. Ridiculous

DavidDavisMLC If Sky News really cares about promoting human rights for the Uigers it should care enough to oppose the fascistic anti immigrant policies of the Morrison and Biden Govts and allow all immigrants wanting to escape from any pro imperialist authoritarian regimes. .

shiroihamusan DavidDavisMLC No one should do business with China This is an awful regime!

DavidDavisMLC And it’s also scandalous that Australia’s Prime Minister allows a QAnon follower house sit at the Lodge. In my opinions, it is one of the biggest security breach in Australia’s history!

DavidDavisMLC Disgraceful. Would this be acceptable if it was with Nazi slave labour? Seems we don’t learn our lessons from history. Turn a blind eye. Too late to do something now? Rubbish cancel the contracts. Build local, get better trading partners, countries that don’t use slave labour.

DavidDavisMLC Ethically sourced? I think not. Aren’t there new laws governing this?
