Apologizing for saying something offensive and ridiculous is a natural thing to do.
The MP in question owns mining ventures and is in dispute with a Chinese company so only has his self interests at heart.
But the Chinese should also remember that in a Democracy, anyone can say anything they...
Well as usual, most people are completely wrong on their assumptions. Australian police wouldn't have been sent without the agreement of Russia, Ukrainian and the Ukranian rebels. So the chances of Australian police being killed was very low.
Fake refugees who come to Australia for our welfare system and to get jobs will be sent back to the country they made the journey from.
Aeronaut is spouting his typical "Australia is a racist country" nonsense that he puts in every thread with things that are irrelevant to to the topic.
It's...
The carbon tax was a socialist redistribution of wealth disguised as a way to stop global warming. It raised the cost of living for all Australias, it damaged our economy and it did absolutely nothing for the environment.
It was implemented by the previous Australian government who lied to...
Shouting unfounded words like "RACIST BIGOT BLA HBLAH" is hyperbolic nonsense. Claiming the government is incompetent is again hyperbole considering they are doing a pretty good job at running the country. Making a few tiny mistakes or not following what some people want is not "incompetence"...
I don't think it was intentional. The Australian newspaper didn't make it clear that what they wrote wasn't a direct quote of what she said.
Well you can believe what ever you want, but Fairfax has confirmed that she didn't actually say that.
And here we go again with your random hyperbolic...
Please read posts and links carefully. The Chinese newspaper was quoting an interview that Bishop gave to an Australian newspaper(Fairfax media) the line that they reported she said "stand up to China" is not a direct quote of what she actually said and they confirm this in the link i just...
Looks like China's newspapers are lying(not a surprise there)
Julie Bishop to Xinhua: I never said 'stand up to China'

Crime is random. Just because a non-white person has crime committed against them, doesn't mean its a "racist attack"
They probably cant tell you are being sarcastic lol
None of those things you linked are "gaffes" You obviously dont understand the content in them.
They don't want to because they don't want the burden and claim that because we area rich western country we have to take them. Also the illegals don't want to stay in those countries because they aren't rich and don't have a good welfare system.
People need to remember that these are just "reports" and aren't confirmed. People illegally trying to enter Australia often ring reporters and spout lies because they know Australian media who are sympathetic to their illegal migration will report it and they think it will put pressure on the...
It is, it's how the system works. The people elect a government, if the government can't do their job, they elect someone else. Who is Prime Minister is irrelevant, it's not a U.S president style system. Government is a team.
It's natural in a Westminster system for the Prime Minister to change...
Based on what? Seems you are plucking these things out of thin air. Our parliamentary system is working fine and is irrelevant to the topic of this thread.
More economic migrants pretending to be refugees desperately trying to reach Australia because they have the false idea that they will be given citizenship and will be allowed to live here.
Silly people. If they choose to take the dangerous boat journey that is likely to end in death, it's...
I really hope she doesn't become President, she's an idiot. She views U.S-China relations as a rivalry and thinks countries have to pick sides. It's a dangerous thought.
