        This guy is one of the people responsible of this. Be interesting if you show people this to see what they say. I wonder if Trump knows this and if so I know what he'd say. Well if that's the case Australia can sink we will protect ourselves, either with us or against us.pic.twitter.com/RokErPTxpW

        Bill be very careful. Another story running today is about China preparing for war, presumably over the South China sea & Taiwan. Don't become Australia's Neville Chamberlain.

        Is this despite Chinese media reporting President Xi Jinping has told his military commanders to “concentrate preparations for fighting a war”?

        Well you would need to evict the US out of all military bases in Australia if that was the case.

        Do we still need to learn Asian languages? Preferably Chinese and Indonesian since they tell us what to do with our trades and embassies. #auspolhttps://twitter.com/SenatorWong/status/1055274181774913543 …

        Labor will make Asian languages and literacy a national priority in our schools. Let’s give more of our children the skills they’ll need - for their future and for the country.
