Fears China could further cripple Aust exports | Sky News AustraliaThere are fears of major trade reprisals from China, which has reportedly written up a list of other Australian goods in the firing line. \n\nWith 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. \n\n“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. \n\nAfter 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. \n\nFederal 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. \n\nLabor leader Anthony Albanese told Sky News his party supported the government and its unwavering push for an independent inquiry, saying “the Coalition and Labor have been at one, we have had the same position on this matter”. \n\nImage: Getty We support you Australia So what bring it on, there is only one way to treat a bully.

Australia to 'appeal, not retaliate' against China's crippling barley tariffs | Sky News AustraliaAustralia is poised to appeal a decision by China to impose 80 per cent tariffs on barley producers. \n\nChina accused Australian producers of dumping barley into its market below value – an accusation Australia vehemently denies. \n\nAustralia’s Trade Minister Simon Birmingham issued a statement saying “Australia is deeply disappointed with China’s decision” and “we reject the basis of this decision and will be assessing the details of the findings while we consider next steps”. \n\nAgriculture Minister David Littleproud said the government had no intention of retaliating with tariffs of its own, insisting Australia had no interest in a trade war. \n\nMeanwhile, China has offered its conditional support for an independent inquiry into the origins of COVID-19, insisting the review should only get underway once the pandemic was over. \n\nChinese President Xi Jinping pledged AU$3.1 billion to support the “comprehensive evaluation” of the pandemic and insisted China had “always had an open, transparent and responsible attitude'. \n\nAustralia’s Health Minister Greg Hunt said “we need to learn the lessons from this pandemic so we can ensure we have the strongest possible global health architecture with an enhanced ability to prevent and respond to future outbreaks”. \n\nImage: Getty\n Let em starve then. When they run out of food -we can LAUGH at China for being Fuckwits. Good luck with that....and ..... China has agreed to support a review into the coronavirus pandemic led by the World Health Organisation, but not the independent investigation being pushed by Australia. change crops to hemp

China has ‘doubled down’ on its retaliation against Australia | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says China has “doubled down on its retaliation against Australia” following the regime’s “nasty and unfriendly” action aimed at the nation. \n\nChina on Monday evening announced it would follow through on a threat to slap an 80 per cent tariff on Australian barley in a move that inflamed trade tensions between the two nations.\n\nBeijing claimed the tariffs had nothing to do with Canberra’s push for an inquiry into the origins of COVID-19 and instead said they were due to concerns Australian farmers were dumping barley in their market below market value.\n\nMr Kenny said Australia is “dealing with a bully” on the issue and will have to remain “tough” on the steep tariff which was slapped on our barley. \n\nMr Kenny said Prime Minister Scott Morrison has “done Australia and the world a favour” by continuing the push for an independent investigation into the origins of COVID-19 in China. \n\nImage: AP THANK TRUMP PUSHNG IN FROMT OF AUSTRALIA WITH THE TRADE WAR HE INITIATED WITH THE RESOLUTION CHINA GAVE TO HIM WHICH NOW IS BEING HONOURED.
