As a fellow Australian I can honestly say that what you wrote above reflects my view on the situation. I also can see where Caitlin's coming from and have noticed recently more and more opinions emphasising the benevolence of Chinese economical interference. But I understand that
every and each government is acting in its interest and can not be expected
to be acting out of some altruistic motives. The port of Darwin lease
was a despicable decision made by our government and an example of
stupidity and political myopia that can not be excused. Mara, I think we can agree that our beautiful country and its people deserve better governmence that we've been served with.
