Australia is a free and friendly country and we will not accept bullying, threats or extortion from any other country - we are a proud nation that supports democracy and freedoms and the rule of law... and we love cricket and rugby....

CHINESE EATING BATS WITH AUSTRALIAN WINE; THEY STRUGGLE TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VINEGAR AND WINE.. LOL

[shannonsutherland]

“Australia used to be one of China’s favourite countries, now it’s China’s punching bags”. LOL well said. Because they are not sure why we are questioning them instead of allowing our country to be destroyed by the greedy GRUBS. They are also using blackmail to threaten us because we only simply ask for an investigation. Shameful and disgusting. China can not and will not ever gain the world’s trust anymore. This is history-making. Go India! Love you!! From Aus 🇦🇺🇮🇳🤝🙏

[deepdutta]

Great. Less Chinese in Australia. Don’t think Australia gonna die. Half of the Chinese immigrate to Australia for better income and life.

[HKing]

Bro why is Australia the only country standing up to them. Other countries need to have there back.

[rahulkundu]

This is disrespect of Australia as a sovereign country.

[imvk]

I like Australia being brave again china. Not many countries have guts to take mighty china head on. Others should strongly support Australia .
