A Bwian:
A sad, forlorn fool, lecturing everyone about his cleverness. Has an online, mail-order doktorate but zero self-awareness. Frequently accompanies his outbursts with gifs of children in distress. Collects gifs of children in distress. Thinks it incisive and effective to support his "argument" to post gifs of children in distress. A sad, forlorn, bewildered old fool with unresolved psycho-sexual baggage about children in distress. Probably past any help as he is in denial.

"Any questions?"

"Sir!"

"Yes, Hicks?"

"I'm Hudson, sir - HE'S Hicks."

"What's your question?"

"Is this gonna be a stand-up discussion - or just another bitch fest?"

"We have been reliably informed that a xenophobe response or two is involved."

"It's a bitch fight."

Queenslanders will soon be drinking recycled sewage water.

"RECYCLED SEWAGE WATER COULD SOON BE IN OUR TAPS
The State Government has quietly introduced changes that pave the way to adding treated sewage water to southeast Queensland’s drinking supplies."

Meanwhile the Chinese have secured a 100 million litre a year water aquifer extraction operation with a license extending into the next century (and bottling operation) in the often drought ravaged area in southern Queensland.

Queenslanders will have to pay the Chinese for their own water if they don't want to drink sh!t.

Ah, yes - the Socialists like Pale-ass-chick - a title that crosses many political 'boundaries' - love to do what's best for us all without our knowledge or - heaven forbid - consent.

"Cr McNally went a step further, saying the council was aware of many individuals extracting underground or bore water in the region and selling it privately to users from outside the region, and there was nothing the council could do about the practice.

“This is happening all over the region and here we are singling out one landowner,” Cr McNally said."

In NSW Coca Cola pumps 66m. litres/year and pays $181. Some Chinese drink cokes.   Major rivers have recycled urine in them particularly during isolation. Don't ask about Bondi beach.

It's a great move though, the Chinese buy our water to sell back to us.

They can piss off given the current circumstances.

Yanks smuggle coke in for our Coca Cola, abuse our true blue water and fill the barrier reef with plastic bottles. And don't pay for the urine.  Meanwhile farmers are squeezing cow pats for a few drops to boil the billy.  Yanks think the outback is the dunny.

At least you are making ground these days.

Chinaman put your hand up in any context in opposition to the CCP, anywhere, we have masks and the internet these days, things may change and prawn chips may not be so popular.

With water sell off's blame those enamoured by free marketeer capitalism that allowed foreign companies to trade in Australian water in the first place.

Blaming Chinese and other foreign owned companies to take advantage of a situation that was created by free marketer conservative governments is just playing the racist game in context....diversionary bull.

Nobody wants to be a Wacist but these Chineese are really pushing the envelope, they are the enemy of the world.

"As China-Australia relations continue to remain in the spotlight, China’s foreign ministry spokesperson has lashed out at “sinister” Australian politicians, and questioned why Australia hasn’t stood up to the US over its “foreign interference”.

Zhao Lijian’s comments on Monday (local time) came after he was questioned on Victoria’s agreement with China for the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and Peter Dutton’s comments calling the relationship a “propaganda exercise.”

The BRI is an estimated $1.5 trillion foreign and economic policy from the Chinese that will create maritime trade routes globally.

The home affairs minister previously said it was “gravely concerning” Victoria was the only state to come to such an agreement, with the Morrison government criticising the move which is deemed to have undermined Australian foreign policy.

Mr Morrison himself has urged states to "respect and recognise the role of the federal government in setting foreign policy."

However, at the time of signing a memorandum of understanding in 2018, Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews insisted the motivation behind the move was to provide “more jobs and more trade and investment for Victorians.”

Mr Zhao called out internal and external interference over the agreement, insisting the relationship was “completely reasonable, lawful and aboveboard”.

“The groundless accusations made by some Australian politicians are totally untenable,” he said.

“They only expose their negligence of the Australian people’s interests and their sinister intentions of damaging China-Australia relations.”

Mr Zhao called on Australian politicians to “discard ideological prejudices” to prevent Australia and China’s relationship deteriorating further.

China calls for Australia to stand up to ‘bizarre’ US move

Days earlier US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US wouldn't hesitate to "simply disconnect" from Australia if Victoria's involvement in China's Belt and Road initiative threatens its telecommunications security.

And while the US ambassador to Australia, Arthur Culvahouse, stressed the US had confidence in Australia over the matter, Chinese state-media publication The Global Times warned Australia should be “well prepared to be abandoned at any time” by the US.

“Obviously, what is on the mind of Pompeo and his likes is only US self-interests, and Washington is not going to foot the bill for the lost Australian jobs,” the Chinese mouthpiece publication wrote.

“Australia is already in a passive position in the face of wavering US policy. Canberra is forced to pick a side between Beijing and the Washington even when it is loath to jeopardise its relationship with China.”

Speaking on Monday, Mr Zhao hit out at the US over its interference in the matter, and urged Australia to stand up for itself.

“The threat from American politicians is even more bizarre,” he said.

“Some politicians in Australia have been saying all day long that they oppose "foreign interference" and "Chinese coercion".

“Why don't they stand up against the US? This has once again exposed the deep-rooted ideological bias and double standards of some people on the Australian side.”



Sounds like Oz is a puppet state of China now - and is told to stand up against its own allies... kinda makes you feel like Poland in 1939 or Czechoslovakia in 1938, don' it?
