Mentions pandas, trade, probably dumplings – but the Port of Darwin? Crickets.
Australia’s most strategic port is still run by a foreign power — and our PM forgot to bring it up. Classic!
Transcript
Senator ROBERTS: Albo off to China.
PM Albanese: It’s very good to be back in Beijing for my second visit as Prime Minister.
Senator ROBERTS: Here’s something that I don’t think he will bring up. The Port of Darwin.
Journalist: President Xi didn’t raise the Port of Darwin. And yeah, you didn’t use the opportunity meeting him to explain your policy on that.
PM Albanese: I don’t need to.
Senator ROBERTS: It was a huge election promise to get it back from the Chinese.
Journalist: Often times there’s a shot across the bow on the sale of the Port of Darwin. Did that issue come up in your two hour discussion?
PM Albanese: Well, the answer is no. The answer, well that shouldn’t come as any surprise.
Senator ROBERTS: He made lots of words, lots of promises, but he said he would do something about the Port of Darwin.
Journalist: Did the President express any objection to your plans about bringing the Port of Darwin back into Australian hands or any potential response that China might take to that?
PM Albanese: No, it wasn’t raised.
Senator ROBERTS: It’s Australia’s most strategic northern port. So does Australia operate it? No, it doesn’t. We don’t operate it. A foreign communist country operates it. So will Anthony Albanese stand up for this country and tell Xi Jinping to give the Port of Darwin back?
PM Albanese: No, it wasn’t raised.
It’s not half obvious what he’s up to , it’s blatantly clear , anyone who can’t see it is in denial . This dangerous controlling dictator has an ultimatum , he is on a road leading this country into oblivion and millions of lives will pay a high price for this arrogant power harassing PM . He doesn’t like having to answer questions that requires him being transparent ,it shows in his face . Keep him in Beijing , cancel his return ticket and passport ,,,
About the Darwin port , we need to get our country port back out of the Chinese hands , should never have let the Chinese take a hold of it in the first place , before it’s to late .
Well if people voted properly, we wouldn’t have to put up with a weak pm who goes running to China for his orders, and having to listen to his constant lies!! so we are all suffering for the unrighteousness who gave them. complete control, in parliament to stupidly ram through their evil policies that has to be accordingly to Chinas demands,, we need a leader like Donald Trump who is willing to fight to get this nation out of Chinas hands, Australia. is going down Albanese is doing a good job at it, we will become communist, China is using this weak government to carry on with its domination of the world, the opposition parties have to keep it up revealing their lies, so the blind gnats can see Rudd has to be booted out and be replaced , he’s made a complete fool of himself, making nasty comments, Donald Trump doesn’t like him, we need to be allies not enemy with American, we need to pray!!
