“I think they are actually making the case for us – despite the somewhat quirky analogy of milking the cow and then wanting to slaughter it – that was another direct threat to Australian business interests,” he said. “That if you want to disagree with China, if your government wants to expose, point out, hold up China to serious scrutiny and criticise it – you will be punished.
“I don’t mind them going on Australian television, making complete fools of themselves and broadcasting propaganda, and I certainly don’t mind them openly, albeit with a slightly quirky example, again threatening Australian business along the way. “Because it just makes the case about why we have to stand up for our values and stand up for what we believe is in our national interest."

HHepplewhite My money is on China in this petulant disagreement between the two countries and especially when Morrison is the prime minister.
HHepplewhite Dont look to NZ for any support though.
When do the Australian Embassy address the National Press Club of China?
Dope
China doesn't like countries who are prepared to stand up to their intimidation. The reason they have been able to build up the artificial reefs into bases is because neighbouring countries haven't stood up to them.
WHO'S VALUES? Ours or the LNPs....
What are Australian values exactly? Pandering to religious cults? Imprisoning innocent children? Committing war crimes and then having those criminals sit in parliament? Is it protecting rapists and paedophiles?
China can go jump. imo
