We should not have a free trade deal or “defence ties” with a country that drags women pregnant with their second child off to be forcibly aborted and sterilized and that keeps political prisoners locked up, like lobsters in a tank in a restaurant, and executes them when their blood group matches that of a paying prospective
recipient so their organs can be cut out and sold for transplant.
BA Santamaria, Tony Abbott’s mentor in that halycon time when he was a member of the Sydney University Democratic Club, would turn in his grave if he knew Tony was now entwining the future of Australia with that of the Chinese Communist Party.
On September 14, 1976 Liberals Malcolm Fraser, Doug Anthony and Reg Withers got up in Federal Parliament, in a so-called condolence motion on the death of dictator Mao Tse Tung, and declared, with the dazzle of trade dollars in their eyes – even though they had just sent 500 Australians to their deaths in Vietnam in a war against communism – that Mao and the Chinese communist system were suddenly to be regarded as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
It should be no surprise to anyone that now, as revealed by Malcolm Turnbull in his speech at the London School of Economics in October 5, 2011 entitled “Same Bed – Different Dreams”, representatives of the Chinese Communist Party are even allowed to attend the Liberal Party’s annual conference.
For their bowing and scraping to the CCP, and their re-writing of history, the Coalition and Labor have become deniers of the Chinese holocaust, the murder and forced starvation of millions during the years of the communist takeover and the later ill-fated cultural revolution.
All lovers of freedom should condemn the Prime Minister’s efforts to link Australia’s economic destiny to this criminal regime.
