This is just bizarre. And nobody is demanding accountability?

The thing about the CCP, it's never just about the money - it's about the influence. The more they worm their way into a foreign economy, the more they control it. When it comes time to invade Taiwan, then they know that that influence is there, ready to be called in.

Yep, they can play the long game seeing as they don't have to worry about elections. They make inroads on a few key people, and they can parlay that into a much larger influence. Maybe they have something on him? Caught with a live boy or dead girl? Or perhaps they're just greasing his palms more than he can resist, or maybe a bit of both.

At a time when Australia is already absurdly dependent on a totalitarian regime - when we must start disentangling - we have guys like Dan Andrews selling us even further into vassal-state territory.

I don't think he's interested in Australia. What's he hiding? Why all the secrecy?
