Paterson is way above his pay grade and one of the few Lib shadow cabinet ministers, you could rely on to put Australia first. Labor could do well to learn from him rather than spin everything he says.

I agree but he'd need a safe lower house seat first.

That Home Affairs representative Mr Handsford (I think that is his name) is again very very disdainful when responding to Sen Patterson. And once again that Minister responding to Sen Patterson is a typical labour bully.

If the Chinese company DJI can be assessed as capable of viewing video media collected by a drone, therefore banning the entire DJI family from the USA, imagine how much more could be captured in the relaxed comfort of a nice, quiet EV.

We are just a dumping ground for Chinese garbage. I fully understand the concerns expressed by Senator Paterson. Each and every question he has put to this hearing needs to be answered in full and Burke should be called to give his account of exactly WHY he went Chinese and not, for instance, Tesla or another 'friendly country' vehicle.

[@jasonc9755]

The further Australia can distance itself from non democratic countries the safer we'll be. Current and former politicians relations with these countries is horrific.

These discussions are quite frankly mind blowing. It just shows how in regard to the issues that were raised in these matters why both the Labor Ministers and Liberal/National ‘potential’ Ministers need to get totally involved in protecting Australians from these issues. Why are we as Australians allowing vehicles that have the potential of causing Australians casualties and even deaths. This issue is far more important than ‘scoring points’ against each other in the chamber. In the end ‘common’ Australians pay everyone sitting in this chamber to protect us and the future of our children.
