Australia needs Trump to win the election because 'we cannot face China alone' Australia needs Trump to win the election because 'we cannot face China alone' Published on Aug 9, 2020 Liberal Senator James McGrath says Australia needs President Donald Trump to win the upcoming presidential election to help it stand up to China.  Mr McGrath said China was the “greatest threat to the rules-based order the world is seeing at the moment.” President Trump would be better at dealing with China than presidential candidate Joe Biden because he knows “when you deal with bullies … you don’t give them shoulder massages, you’ve got to stand up to them.” Mr McGrath told Sky news.  “Biden isn’t a foreign affairs hawk, he’s like a foreign affairs budgerigar” Mr McGrath said Australia needed to ensure there was a "coalition of the willing” standing against China and required the help of a strong president in the White House.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8laRtToONwg Then you have this.. Communist Party news agency' parliament house privilege ‘must be reviewed’ Published on Oct 20, 2020 Liberal Senator James Paterson has called for the “state-owned, state-directed, state-controlled Communist Party news agency” Xinhua to have its unrestricted parliament house access reviewed. “If they Xinhua News Service journalists are indeed journalists in any sense of the word, they do not resemble journalists we have here in Australia,” Senator Paterson told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. He said the state-owned news agency has been “credibly accused” across the world of “facilitating propaganda and disinformation and even engaging in espionage”. “Yet they have access to parliament house, unrestricted access to parliament house, and the right to sign in guests to parliament house with no oversight at all,” Senator Paterson said. “The same day Xinhua journalists were raided by ASIO in Sydney, Xinhua journalists turned up to the prime minister’s press conference and aggressively filmed Australian journalists in an apparent attempt to intimidate them. “Their status should be reviewed.” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uuCdSrgIYIE
