We have to face up to the reality of China’s threat

It seems crazy not to use the commodities China seeks, yet it’s politically impossible thanks to the climate cult.

We must not repeat the mistakes of a lost year

PERTH, AUSTRALIA - APRIL 10: A surfer walks back from the beach past social distancing signage at Scarborough Beach on April 10, 2020 in Perth, Australia. Australians have been urged to avoid all unnecessary travel over the Easter long weekend as the nation continues to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. The Federal Government has closed all non-essential business and implemented strict social distancing rules, while public gatherings are now limited to two people. New South Wales and Victoria have also enacted additional lockdown measures to allow police the power to fine people who breach the two-person outdoor gathering limit or leave their homes without a reasonable excuse. Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory have all closed their borders to non-essential travellers and international arrivals into Australia are being sent to mandatory quarantine in hotels for 14 days.

In this March 18, 2020 photo released by China's Xinhua News Agency, people applaud as departing medical workers enter Wuhan Tianhe International Airport in Wuhan in central China's Hubei Province. Last month, Wuhan was overwhelmed with thousands of new cases of coronavirus each day. But in a dramatic development that underscores just how much the outbreak has pivoted toward Europe and the United States, Chinese authorities said Thursday that the city and its surrounding province had no new cases to report. The virus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough, for most people, but severe illness is more likely in the elderly and people with existing health problems.

Real ‘China virus’ killed us years ago

Australia has traded off long-term national security for short term economic gain. If good is to come from this crisis, it must focus countries’ minds on the need to be self-reliant as well as rich.
