        Curious to know if all these Chinese have citizenship? If not, they can't vote anyway so who cares

        Well.....what does it say about the state of our country if we need to be concerned about people voting a certain way, all because we stopped what is - to any average person - corrupt practice. Surely any Chinese Australian who lives here would not be swayed by recent events.

        Love how #Labor has come out from behind the shroud and finally adopted the red #Chinese colour as a standard ... given their #communist slant, and the fact many have forgotten history, the red shirts are a danger #Australia .
