“Journalists from around the world have joined a petition asking Beijing to allow Cheng [Lei] to be reunited with her two children, aged 12 and 10.” theaustralian.com.au/nation/…
Looks like a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc, to me. But who am I to expect logic in this discussion? #covidorigin #conspiracytheories theaustralian.com.au/science…
Here's a 5 minute video to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Gough Whitlam's ground breaking visit to China as Opposition Leader in 1971. The visit set the scene for positive and prosperous relations between #Australia and #China: youtube.com/watch?v=38Nx8mJ0…
According to Damon Johnston in today's Australian, one of the signs Dan Andrews had decided to "side with Beijing" was that "in opposition, he toured the Great Wall and other sites [in China]". Really? Is this what cuts muster as political analysis in the media today?

Geoff Raby: “Some commentators...seem not to understand the difference between being alone and being an outlier. Australia is definitely not alone but is certainly an outlier [in managing China relations]”. afr.com/news/policy/foreign-…
Forget that one participant posted the password publicly. I’m just concerned that these EU Defence Ministers were using Zoom for a secret meeting. Doesn’t bode well for the future of the West.
I was quoted in this piece in the @stockandland on #AustraliaChinaRelations saying #RCEP might offer an opportunity for Canberra to address Beijing’s trade actions with regional multilateral support. stockandland.com.au/story/70…
Less than 48 hours before polls opened in the US #2020election I made a video explaining the #USElectoralCollege and Trump's possible narrow path to victory. With 88 Electoral College votes still in play, it's interesting to see my analysis playing out: youtu.be/ByfpFxc4hos.
I am such a #politicaltragic - watching US #Election2020 live feed and tracking outcomes with a spreadsheet on my laptop.
A good explanation of #ElectoralCollege and scenarios that could mean final outcome delayed until as late as 6 January. Fasten your seat belts for
