The Chinese government is not on record for being the most peaceful, humanitarian, freedom-loving sort. Sorry Ponts, but history testifies against you. Occam you don’t know who Hugh White is but in this country he’s a very respected authority on Australia’s geopolitical situation vis-a-vis the US and China ..l

That was written back in 2013. Things have moved even further toward possible conflict since then.

The fucknuts fear monger over China yet whose idea was it to privatise Darwin Port, privatise water resources, privatise energy, sell off farmland to foreigners while privatising anything and everything down to hospital car parks that increases poverty and solution build more privatised jails, all of which is neoliberal ideology spawned in the US as with joining US war machinations with a hooray for the red, white and blue...and the fucknuts think China will destroy Australia....the yanks have already done a good job at that.

Privatise Darwin Port? The Northern Territory Government granted the Chinese a 99-year lease for A$506 million.

Our IDIOT ex Lib treasurer (a whacko from America) was going to sell Fremantle Port to the Chinese too BECAUSE the WA Libs got WA in debt. Our Prem should be Australia's PM. Anyway... we have him until we don't I guess as long as he doesn't mess up the good he has done so far, he is a shoe in for the next election.

It’s called national security Toots. It trumps everything. Sorry! I wish that wasn’t his name! Kinda ruins a perfectly good verb.
Security committee of Cabinet could probably override it. Ask a constitutional lawyer. It’d probably end up in the High Court. It’d be an interesting case!
There’s Section 51 (vi) which gives the federal parliament the power to organise and deploy “the naval and military defence of the Commonwealth and of the several States, and the control of the forces to execute and maintain the laws of the Commonwealth”. So under this clause the federal government has the constitutional obligation to defend the states - against invasion by a foreign power. No ifs or buts. Before Federation each Colony had its own armed forces. When they agreed to federate as the states of the Commonwealth of Australia the deal was that they would not have their own state militias (unlike the US where each state can call out their own National Guard) and that defence would be a federal responsibility.
There’s also sub section (xxix) of Section 51 which gives the federal parliament authority to legislate for “external affairs”. That doesn’t mean having an affair with some hot guy/lady from overseas but relations with foreign countries. I’m sure that part would be brought up in a HC case.
Another sub section is (xx) - “foreign corporations, and trading or financial corporations formed within the limits of the Commonwealth”.
In fact you could go to town in a High Court case on the Darwin port issue. I agree. Bring it on.
