With a third of Australia’s exports sold to China, Australia’s National Farmers Federation CEO Tony Mahar said he was “acutely aware” of speculation China could impose economic taxes on other Australian industries. “We’re always conscious of any disruptions to trade in an export dominated industry like agriculture where we export two thirds of what we produce, and a third of that goes to China,” he said.
After a historic vote at the World Health Assembly overnight, world leaders agreed to establish an inquiry into the COVID-19 response – vindicating Australia’s push for a probe into the COVID-19 outbreak. Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt said Australia was committed to the global inquiry but wanted it to be as independent as possible from the World Health Organisation.
Why don't we stop exporting the things they want to keep going as well? Why aren't we putting tariffs on their crappy goods in return? Our government needs to get a spine.
Good the Chinese can stop buy out trade items and our politicians!
These Chinese are under the impression that they are more important then they actually are. There is a couple of hundred other countries out there that we can do business with.
Time to name and shams all Australian politicians and lobbyists who work for China’s interests
This is why I live off grid and survive off the land that I call home. Always happier than the greedy pricks dealing with China 😆 independentAustralia
We need to shut down as much China products as we can
Having no food will cripple China...
this is what happens dealing with an idiotic country, we re the fools putting all the eggs in one basket, hopefully we can re build and give them the flick
Australia has to be careful alot of countries want China's business and would love australia to fall out for there benefit....you have to remember these only one china no other country cam replace it
I wonder what would happen if all countries worldwide stopped buying everything from China 🤔
Good. Screw China. We don’t need them.
Stop using the word ‘fear/fears’. Since when have we cowered in the face of an enemy. We were not reliant on China in the past, we don’t have to be in the future either. Even if we have to start from scratch. Let’s do it. If not for us for future generations.
Good! my list of cheap Chinese 💩 is growing too and I will cop the extra cost and buy Australian or anywhere that’s not China! Been encouraging friends to do the same. Go Australia 🇦🇺 or go away I say!
Build our own factories and stop buy shit from the Red peril .
No problem, we find other markets. There may not be as much profit selling to another country but there is still a profit. On the upside China misses out on a quality product and Australia is not held to ransom or bullied.
TELL THEM TO FUUUUUUUUUK OF!! Where's fuken Trump when you need him?
A lot of Australian business men went there for cheap labour
Australians are soooo funny . Like little children . You want to play with the big guys don't complain .
Xi Jinping is a despot, whose only way of clinging to power was to change the law so he is President for life, just like Castro and Putin XiJinping Xi
Block chinese tech companies in Australia. Alibaba, Baidu, Huawei, Lenovo, Tencent, Xiaomi, ZTE. To start with, block exports of baby formula, take back assets owned by China too
Xi Ping Pong. aka Winnie The a Pooh is angry
I’m sure the premier of WA has it all sorted out with his billionaire mates?
I’m happy to do it tough for a while if it means freedom from those communist overlords
Australia need a list of items to ban from China.
And----- then .
Come on CCP China, the more tariffs you are putting, the more true colors you show the world, more people will see what's the consequences of seeking skins with tiger, trade the soul with the monster.
So let’s stop whinging and drum up some new customers so we can tell the world what a bully China has become.
Fuck China! This divorce will hurt but we need to seperate! They are not friends of Australia, never were!
It's high time the people of China wake up and realise their government is not governing for the people it's governing for greed, power and control.
China is a typical situation of a dangerous “fatal attraction” relationship: Australia must do; “Acknowledge you are being abused. Tell world about what is happening. Be wise about who you trust. Reduce or STOP engaging with your abusive partner. Develop a safe plan for leaving.”
Starve the “Hitler CCP” out of existence -it’s that simple
Cancel Twiggys export licence
Two can play at that game. As the old saying goes: If you owe the bank a small amount of money, the bank owns you, but if you owe the bank a large amount of money, you own the bank. Guess who produces more than 50% of world iron ore exports at +800 Mtpa?
We could export a special milk powder formula to China. Lovingly made with melamine.
This is an opportunity to yell loud and clear to the rest of the world because if a collective statement of bullying isn’t made other countries will be next. Being quiet about assault is a big BIG mistake!
Let Dan Andrews negotiate for Australians. He has the belt and road contract as a negotiating tool😀
Good they can get substandard products from elsewhere gov can bail out these companies better to live free than under the rule of china. Better we see it now than later on when it’s worse no more dealing with China
If SkyNews were a real news organisation, they'd report the news, instead of clickbait sensationalism.
Charge all Chinese students, a $50k covid levy. If they can’t or won’t pay deport them! After all, they would not be allowed to come here unless the CCP chose them to come here!
Bring 'em on, bloody mad dogs of the CCPChina ChineseBioterrorism ChineseVirus Time for Australian exporters to find alternative markets. Relying on China is like relying on the Devil Don't give any support to Chinese Students, they are supposed to pay for their expenses.
I wonder if baby formula is on the hit list CCPVirus
Bullying is an Art mastered by China by studying the past 500 years of history.
We gave China most of our manufacturing capability. For decades we have used cheap labor in China to make everything and now you all want it to just stop? That $10 T-shirt is that cheap for a reason. We choose cheap at the shops, we empowered China through our own buying habits.
Why are most of Sky New Australia's tweets about China?in China's media, there are very few news about Australia.
Tough guys
Good to see ScoMo has finally discovered India. realDonaldTrump way ahead of him.
It easier said than done - resisting China. Aussies just can't bear the consequences of China's reprisals. People of China can survive on grass for years, but not Aussies!
Now i realised why Trump ask Australia to anger China, so he can sell more American products to China, and if Ausralia not happy, then recall F35 production away from Australia. Australia really need some wisdom to deal with both giants!
The Commonwealth and the United States must stand resolutely behind Australia. Boycott Chinese goods. Impose tariffs and sanctions. Cripple them.
So we call for a investigation into covid 19 they put trade sanctions on Australia ,then the chinese pm says yes we will allow the investigation to happen yet still keep trade sanctions against Australia . So having your cake and eating ot too
They just keep providing reasons why we shouldn't trade with them at all. China doesn't need a virus as an excuse, they pull shit like this all the time. Classic cry bully stuff.
F*off China you bullies. Don’t eat our beef good luck with your food.
ozhomeschool 'Fears', only from cowards or those invested in CHICOM appeasement.
bring it on I dont did need or want anything made in China in my life or Country auspol KickChinaOutofAus
Congratulations
We don’t need these MORONS anyway after what they’ve done to the Whole World 🌍 with this Virus 🦠 Charge them more for Our Iron Ore as they need that more than anything!!
China currently has its foot on Australia’s throat, and can apply more pressure at will. Time to start negotiating me thinks
That would be very childish behaviour from China, if true.
Well thanks Australia- do you know what it’s like to be an Australian in China during a bitch fight? 🙄🙄🙄
Australia MUST stop importing Chinese solar panels - they are destroying the reliability of the Australian power grid.
When the shit hits the fan Australia know that the uk has your back along with the commonwealth.
“Fear” is the word used by someone if doing something wrong!!! Why? Did Australia do something wrong ?
Oh look, diplomacy via loud racist moron megaphone has consequences that will cost Australian farmers, workers and consumers...who knew?
finally Australians can really open their eyes. Some Australians used to call China an ally. This is disgusting for me as a Chinese, to call a totalitarian, human rights abuser, corrupted regime AN ALLY! now u know they are NOT. shame on corrupted Australian labor politicians.
It might hurt for a little while but in the long term we must stand up to the communists dictatorships. There is a big world out there
Populations in India 1.3b, Indonesia 200m, Vietnam 100m, Japan 100m and so on. There're so many markets apart from totalitarian China. At least they never coerce us to give up our values for trades
Tough, we will stand out ground. Australian businesses should not be too complacent. Diversify our trades with other partners like India, Indonesia, Vietnam and orher Asian nations
They've gone bananas or what?
AUSTRALIA, FAR WORSE WILL COME IF you do nothing now.
Bet that won't include dairy products and toilet rolls🙂
Get ready for the storm. And you should never have shutdown.
Time to send in Pru ?!
Bet baby formula isn’t on the list
So it has finally shown its ugly head. When the enemy finally plays its cards and demonstrates it is the enemy beyond any reasonable doubt. It makes me happy to stop this pretence and now we can now move to deal with our neighbors and allies more! 😁👍
F**k them!
The further we get away from these Commie Creeps the bett off will be.
Go for it China. We haven't bred beyond our food producing capabilities, have you?
National Press Club address by Karen Andrews - get behind Australian business & industry.
We must all support unconditionally to 🇦🇺
Let them eat their own produce from their own 30% polluted agricultural land to feed their 1.4billion population.
I wouldn't expect anything less when you're dealing with a Communist Regime. Stop feeding China
Let's get a deal Australia, ready for 2021! 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇬🇧🇦🇺
Please include milk powder and iron ores
We support you Australia
So what bring it on, there is only one way to treat a bully.
