Gladys=Wolf in sheep’s clothing, pretending to be a “liberal” while perpetually supporting leftist causes and leftist parties like the ccp.

And probably did not use 1% of the beds

There is absolutely no reason this money couldn’t have been spent in Australia rebuilding our manufacturing capacity. Especially during a recession. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool sprouting outdated disproven economic technobabble. This is treacherous stuff by GladysB

australian labour costs are unaffordable in the 'real' world.

Unbelievable, about time all State and Federal Departments support Australian manufacturing like you keep instructing us to do!

What unAustralian practice is this?

Why spend your money in China when you can do it at home makes no sense Are these Aussie companies lazy?

Gladys Gladys. Buy Australian Made. Money stays In Australia. Come on Glad.

as opposed to INVESTING the one billion in getting this PPE factory/s up and running in NSW. Idiot politicians. GladysB 2GB873 smh auspol

Ok. spend $1 billions on equipment. Is that mean is going to be a state of art facility to create jobs in NSW?

When we talk domestic Manufacturing, we need to talk about competitive production (in terms of duration and cost). When we talk productivity, we need to talk about robotics. It took China 3decades to get here. We need firms in this country focusing on productivity and robotics.

Come on NSW and aust 🤦🤦🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Do Premiers in Australia make unilateral decisions for purchases of $1B or is there an approval process in the government?

She might be getting them made here perhaps by Chinese who have arrived in Recent Times? There was three Chinese Warships near the Sydney Harbor Bridge recently was there not? Darwin Harbor leased still might have a Shed to make them in by Chinese descent workers? Integration?

And nothing changes

Stockholm Sydrome

People who lost their job because of the COVID 19 that started in China, they could have made these equipement. And the governement could have bought it from them, instead of buying it from China or any other foreign country. No brain to be used

Another Politician Sad Story perhaps?

Former trade minister's 'wellness' business owes $1 million to underworld figureFormer Liberal trade minister Andrew Robb's business is partly funded by convicted drug trafficker Shane Charter, the biochemist at the centre of the Essendon and Cronulla football doping scandals. I have finally settled on a definition for Libs. People who's ambition far exceeds their ability. Whoever has been writing your tweets needs to be fired. The picture and tweet itself seem to be completely unrelated. Stop posting garbage ass tweets. Looks like Robb has taken to a lifestyle of a Labor hack.
