Send the jet fighters before they enter Australian territory and get them to turn around! Fck them!

when we need them it is building a bridge. when we do not, they are a bunch of liars. where is your dignity?

How do we know if the Chinese equipment is safe to use? Does it meet the quality of Australian standards? Who packed them?

Whatever you say comrade

Many shipments are being stopped in the USA...defective equipment , tests that do not work etc

how can I even take your news service seriously when you do this

Probably our stock being sent back to us.

Hopefully they are not infected with corona

Where is Australia's capacity to produce these life saving supplies? After this crisis is over we must prioritize our capacity to locally produce essential medical resources protected by govt. procurement/tariffs. If necessary a govt owned entity! We can't just rely on China!

What a fucking joke! We should be nationalising Chinese companies here to pay for manufacturing of our own supplies.. to rely on China for a crisis they created is insanity

I hope they're good quality!!........ the supplies sent from china to Spain were up to 30% faulty!!?.....and to Czechs were 80% faulty!!!?

Very philanthropic of them, and appreciated. I wonder if the goods being sent originated in Australia and were sent to China originally as 'Daigou' ?
