I don't know how old Robbie is, so I don't know what he remembers of the rolling of Whitlam - but I remember it all very clearly. All of us on the Left believed it to be a CIA / MI5 operation and all our suspicions have been proven to be absolutely correct. And I have maintained ever since the usurping of Whitlam, that no Western politician has ever been game to stand up for his or her country against US demands. It's good to hear Robbie make the same case. BTW, I was at the Melbourne Cup when Sir John Kerr, the Queen's representative who sacked Whitlam on behalf of the USA and UK, was essentially booed off stage as he presented the cup to the race winner. We Australians know what was done to us. As Madame Defarge said: "Vengeance and retribution require a long time; it is the rule".

[@jerrystakeonchina799]

Indeed, I don't think he's old enough to have a memore of it personally, I'm guessing he's in his 40s, meaning he was born around, or shortly after the events. I was in the UK and only in my teens, so I was slightly aware of it but too interested in other things to pay much attention - it was the other side of the world, after all!

[@louiseclifford5184]

I remember it well and it was a coup orchestrated by the Brits under orders of the yanks. That’s when we completely lost our sovereignty. A very sad day and had terrible repercussions for Australia as we are now firmly under the heel of the USA and the lapdog Britain.

[@balkanleopard9728]

@@jerrystakeonchina799 The sacking was a huge deal. Many of us on the Left had been spied upon by the ASIO and that was stopped by Whitlam. The upshot was that we thought Australia was on the right path - and then came the sacking. Malcolm Frazer played a dreadful and dishonest part in the sacking and I don't care if he later regretted it. Frazer and that whole mob of devious political bastards totally destroyed Australia. The current crop of politicians, ne're do well media shills and chancers like Drew Pavlou are a potent dark force that help perpetuate the disaster.

Hi Jerry, The Australian lobster industry was hoping that following the Chinese Premier visit to Australia the Chinese tariffs on lobsters would be lifted but ihis hasn't happened Could this be due to the fact that Australia hasn't lifted its ban on Huawei? I noticed over the last few years there has been a massive influx of Chinese wealthy immigrants into Australia, as an example, buying up the houses in half of my street as well as buying up half of the houses in all the other streets in my neighbourhood for one stated reason only, viz., to send their kids to Australian private schools, starting from kindergarten and all the way up to universities ! Was there something they dislike about the educational systems in China or are there other factors driving this mass exodus very affluent Chinese families??

[@jerrystakeonchina799]

No, Lobsters were never political Colin, they were banned because they contain lead - or at least they haven't been proven not to contain lead. That's the biosafety issue that was raised - but of course no Australian media will print that, imagine how devastating it would be to the Australian lobsgter indutry to admit that! There is not a massive influx of Chinese, your media are misleading you - an academic report found that only 5% of the foreign owned homes in Australia were Chinese owned - it may be that there are more of them in recent years because China has more wealth than most other foreign countries and can afford to move but the total number is tiny in reality - another media misinformation tool that has got to you Yes, there is stress on Chinese families innthe education system -take a look though at all the Australian schools when they publish their lists of eam takers, almost all the top 100 students are Chinese - they arne't afraid of the work they arrive in Australia and find it is much easier and excel but these kids would excel anywhere. Affluent families everywhere look for greener grass, it's that simple

[@dugalug1795]

I always get a lot out of your discussions with Robbie Barwick. I live in Brisbane & I'm also not "anti-nuclear". If we want to "de-carbonise" due to global warming, nuclear could be part of the "mix" along with solar, wind & hydro. Interestingly, straight after Dutton made his nuclear announcement a very detailed & lengthy report titled "How innovative is China in Nuclear Power" was released by the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation, a technology-focussed think tank/public policy institute based in Washington DC. So a Western Foundation, hardly "pro-China". Their conclusion was that China has, in 20 years, gone from nothing in terms of nuclear energy research, development & application, to now being the world leader in nuclear energy technology, "15 years ahead of anybody else" including the US & Europe. They further conclude that China has a clear lead over the rest of the world in building & commercialising the newest generation of reactors. The recently commissioned Shidowan-1 nuclear power plant is the world's first "fourth generation" nuclear power plant to become operational. So, if Dutton is serious about his nuclear energy plans for Australia, as a voting citizen I would expect him to work with the clear, acknowledged world leader in this area of technology, China, in order to get the best, most efficient, "cutting-edge" reactors at the most competitive price. So I will look for him to commit to a continuing "rapprochement" with China & a stable, working relationship with the Chinese. As well as making such a commitment before the election, I will also look for him to state clearly that he does not support a war over Taiwan & recommit Australia to its long-standing "one china" policy & maintainence of the "status quo" across the Taiwan Strait. Such recommitments are, I believe, necessary to cement the stable working relationship with China that's needed to achieve the best, most cost effective outcome for Australia in terms of nuclear energy. If Dutton does all this, I'd be even tempted to consider voting for him. The chances of this happening? Well, have you heard that saying about pigs flying?

The Australian Citizens Party is the only party I support, and I always watch their show on KZbin. Although they report on important issues that matter, I find their presentation style a bit outdated and more appealing to an older demographic. These days, it's all about packaging and presentation. Just like how those in suits are perceived as the good guys, while those who wear turbans are labeled as terrorists. I think if they worked on their presentation to attract younger audiences, it would help the party a lot.

[@jerrystakeonchina799]

[@obione69]

Don't ask Robbie about nuclear power. He is just so uninformed its painful. He tries to couch the opposition on some irrelevant commentary he heard 50 years ago about proliferation. Its what you call a strawman. Why not look at China as an example. Look at their own rollout and you will see that even they know its a very expensive and the least effective form of power generation. Compare it to the deployment of renewables and its off the chart. Nuclear is actually decreasing as global output and not because of any puritanical ideology. Because they are not dullards and can do basic arithmetic.

Things happen for a reason. So are conflicts. Rather than to fight endlessly & emotionally with the counterpart at the conflicts, tackling the cause or source of the conflicts will be the most practical way to clear the way for peace & harmony. China is wise to calm down & stabilize things with its immediate counterpart involved in what had happened, but it appears that at the same time China will find multiple & diversified ways to solidly tackle the problem concerned at its source which in effect is the original instigator who pushed for the conflicts. China is getting more & more equipped, confident & firm to counter & scare off the instigator who is always behind the scene of troubles. What just happened at Ren'ai Jiao of the South China Sea with Philippines tells us a lot about how the trouble instigator will react when China "shows its hand".

Thanks Jerry and Robbie for this valuable report, there is hope for the lucky country yet. The best outcome for Asia now is for U.S. allies to jump ship, so to speak. Neither Japan nor Korea need to remain subservient to U.S. foreign policy and it's military. In addition to the examples being set by the likes of China, Russia and Vietnam, both Japan and South Korea have a lot to learn from a much underrated DPRK; their close North Korean neighbours, who having struggled for decades against U.S./UN sanctions have become a relatively independent more sovereign country, whose people are thereby all the more resilient and secure. Conversely, nation states that remain subservient to the U.S. military are getting what their weakness deserves; they are being politically and economically exploited, thereby becoming less sovereign and less secure eg; Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, NATO and most EU countries.

[@michaelloong964]

The Australians have been feeling uneasy in Asia for a long time and hence needs protection for safety. UK was the first country for Australia to ask for help. When UK join the EU the relationship with UK wanes and the US becomes the next safety net. Australia paid a big price to the US for safety net as Australia foreign policy is entirely controlled by the US with lots of CIA agents stationed in OZ. OZ sent troops to fight for US in Korea , Vietnam, Afghanistan and elsewhere. The US asked Oz to ask WHO to investigate Covid10 virus origin from Wuhan. Even as late as 2022 Oz has to cancel France submarine contract in favour of US nuclear submarines at much higher price and delivery only to begin in 2040.The nuclear submarine is to help the US and for long distance attack when the US and China involves in a naval war in SCS. So Oz literally has become a semi-colony of the US without independent foreign policy. Last Oz PM Scott Morrison was a typical lapdog of the US by strong anti-China attitude at the expense of losing lucrative China trade , not realizing that China has been feeding OZ economy for over 20 odd years.OZ feels unsafe always as OZ is in Asia region and not in Europe.Oz has been a lucky country as Indonesia as its neighbor has not caused any trouble to Oz unlike other neighboring nations fighting all the time. .

As much as I HATE the kind of crap America does around the world, in this case, both politics and banking in Australia, I have to admit it's super effective. I mean, for the kind of resources that spent, in both banking and wining and dining Australian (or anyway) politicians, the return is out of proportion spectacular. In terms of dollars spent, be it lending from American banks (or World Bank), and the moneys we spent on the military worldwide, we get back hundreds if not thousands fold in terms of control of your resources, your government, and your country. For pennies we got Australia to turn against China, politically or culturally (i.e. ok to be a racist). Now Australia is locked in to spend money if not lives in the interest of the United States. If you're a betting man, or just a casual investor, why wouldn't you put money on the American devil, even if it means death of millions including your own countrymen?

[@jerrystakeonchina799]

You're right to a point, the biggest problem is where all that money is going and if you see the wealth of the top ten Americans and then comapre that to the bottom 50% of Americans, you can see why US has a problem and what that problem will do - ultimately, the country is broke, all the money is in a handful of elites - even the politicians will eventualy realise that their money will be worth nothing more than decent brand of toilet paper and stop taking it from the rich When it reaches that stage, the US is done
