Labor has taken Australia ‘further down’ path of restabilising relationship with China

Fitzpatrick Advisory Special Counsel Bruce Hawker says the Labor government has taken Australia “further down” the path of restabilising its relationship with China since the Morrison government. “It was only a few years ago that the Chinese ministers weren’t even taking the calls from ministers in the Morrison government because of how deeply offended the Chinese leadership were to calls to investigate the COVID outbreak,” he told Sky News Australia. “Something which was always going to be very unacceptable to them.”
