Since Prime Minister Scott Morrison asked for an independent investigation into the source of COVID-19, the Chinese Communist Party has had it in for Australia.

Just as the Morrison government has refused to take back the Port of Darwin from the CCP, Josh Frydenberg has no issue with a half-Chinese-owned company controlling Australia’s largest coal export port and increasing fees on our miners to maximise profits.

After rubblising the Liberals in the March state election, WA Premier Mark McGowan must think he’s politically invincible.

For so long, Australians have been told we’re at the precipice of an Asian century.

This week, Labor Senate leader Penny Wong accused Prime Minister Scott Morrison of “deliberately encouraging anxiety about conflict” with the CCP.

In a document titled “The Unnatural Origin of SARS and New Species of Man-Made Viruses as Genetic Bioweapons”, top Chinese military scientists described SARS coronaviruses as heralding a “new era of genetic weapons” five years before the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan.

With the vast majority of Australians in support of taking back the Port of Darwin from CCP-controlled company Landbridge, there are still those in the upper echelons of our political and bureaucratic elite who defend the government’s decision to sell it five years ago.

With the CCP producing 57 per cent of the world’s steel supply, it’d be prudent to take notice of their undeniably successful energy policies.

There is absolutely no excuse for the Prime Minister not to take back the Port of Darwin.

While corporate Australia has spent the last decade turning its back on regional and industrial Australia in the name of reaching net zero emissions and combatting the “climate emergency”, the CCP has been buying up our strategic assets.
