Yeah I’m a prick, serves em right

DML dunno its murkey.

Guess we agree to disagree dml.

Theres also been some tweaks to foreign ownership laws in oz got passed through parliament a few weeks back dont know details no real interest but that irked china or chinese investors no end.

Now china has come out with vieled threats to our wool industry.

Thats one is gonna be interesting as we produce about 85 to 90% of worlds wool. There gonna get cold without woolen garmets but my balance wont like it either.

Off the record comments apparently by Chinese diplomats if PM retracts statements and WTO talks they may come to the table for discussions.

Standoff.

Quite a few farmers want our trade back at whatever cost.

Flip that around nithing to stopmthem from doing it again and again when suits them

[malleefarmer]

And the often used term “to protect chininese” industry or bussiness.

What they mean is protect chinese state run bussiness not much free enterprise there.

Another thing we did was to condem issues in hong kongva few months back or start of year was it.

They kicked all our reporters out of china.

We should all be happy thankful we live in Australia canada or any free country

[malleefarmer]

Oh and PS i dont really wish death and misery upon chinese people thats a bit nasty.

Just antsy here this morning.

But its good for you guys canada is gonna fill the barley void and seemingly the coal one as well.

Dont exactly understand coal quality but there best bang for there buck is australian coal. Both steel and energy

Dec 15, 2020:
..."A “coal rush” in the province (Alberta) could see at least six new or expanded open-pit coal mines built up and down the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, mostly by Australian companies. Together, these projects could industrialize as much as 1,000 sq km of forests, waterways and grasslands."...

..."It (UPC) rescinded the 1976 coal mining policy without public consultation, after spending months wooing Australian coal companies. It also reduced the corporate tax rate from 10 to 8%, axed provincial parks in coal-rich areas, offered 1% royalties (Australia’s is a minimum of seven), and passed legislation to fast-track project approvals."...

I say plough Mother Earth while we can!!
But we all know this ain't happening.

[tubs]

The way things are going here with Trudope at the helm we will be the newest chinas province in no time

[burnt]

To rob a phrase.
When one man freezes its a tragedy.
A million a statistic.

The Chinese are capable of far more than we are able to comprehend.
I suggest Chuck be sent as emissary by Trudeau immediately.

He may indeed be a most valuable asset in that capacity.

I think most here would trade him straight up for the 2 Michaels.

But there's the risk that they wouldn't want to keep him...

That's easy, just don't put a return address on the parcel when you send it. That is how Farma sent the "chickens" to Blaithin, so she couldn't return the favour, so it must work. Worth a try anyways.

[Blaithin]

I still can’t believe that. Do I come off as that untrustworthy?!

You would probably send one of your hand knit unorthodox looking toques in return. Or maybe a pair?
That could cause some tension if his better half opens the mail first, or apprentice as the case may be.

Absolutely. I already had the colour all picked out. Hot pink with a black bow.

It made it that much more disappointing when there was no address.

We questioned origins of covid.

That’s what’s started the stoush with Australia nothing more nothing less

Edit our PM asked were did covid start, wet markets, labs were, how long did you have it before became public, why didn’t you tell the world sooner, what fake news real news. Just wanted answers.

Hindsight possibly should have been done differently and waited till other countries were on side with us.

PM Modi of India said “China is so terrible at cricket because they ate all the f@&$in bats!”

Modi also can’t stand Trudeau so he must be a good judge of character and quite a comedian.
