This should NEVER have been sold off, the Liberal Chief Minister Adam Giles sold this asset off, this looser is now working for Sjy News, Notice Dutton dodges the questions about it being Liberals that caused this problem, the cost of buying it back should 100% come out of Darwin's budget, the rest of Australia should not be made to pay for Darwin's stupid mistake, while you are there how about we retract the Gas deals we have that see Australia get basically Zero revenue from other countries stealing our gas and selling it off at top dollar while we pay through the nose for it.
Shouldn't off been sold to China to begin with
It'll be more respectful to sell it to America after the way they're Australian governments treated them and then on top of it America and make more jobs for Australia because it doesn't seem like the government in Australia can do anything right
Remember 6 trillion dollars made for the American people in under 2 months we need American leadership
What I'd really like to know is who's getting locked up for being stupid enough to do that and sell our Harbour to China like I said we would have been better off giving it to America at least we would have seen a return Anna gives the American president an excuse to come over to Australia their stuffs way better built the only reason they can do what they're doing now 6 trillion dollars in 2 months what countries ever made that kind of money for their people we don't need new government we just need a proper president in Australia like the USA is doing time to get with the future not the past
I want to know how many people got rich off selling the harbour
Clive Palmer will buy it
Just take it back. They owe the world for damages and economic destruction caused by a certain bug. Remember lock downs and their behaviour when asked about it.
misfired? it was a perfect kick for the camera
We are looking down the barrel of a Queensland’s federal government with Trump fixation syndrome ,imagine Dutton at the wheel Palmer and Hanson trying to drive from the back seat and Trump Murdoch Musk and Reinhart giving directions but with the Murdoch propaganda machine in full swing here we go !but don’t worry they all have the workers best interest at heart
To buy it back going to cost the tax payer more than what is lease for. Just build another port that is owned by Australia only.
Why did we sell it in the first place to the Chinese communist party. For 300. million dollars And now it's gonna cost us to buy back 1.2 brilliant dollars. China must be laughing. They made a massive profit on assets and
Stupidity🤔🤔👍
And we want Cubbie Station back 93,000 hectares mostly owned by Chinese investors.
I will vote for Mr Dutton just on this plan its own!!! ❤
What buy back it was leased not sold. Or is government Been lying all these years. Government shouldn't lease or sell any of Australian own property.
Well and truly overdue. Should have never leased it to China. Our most strategic port leased to China 🤦♂️
What has an injured camera man have to do with an election policy? Are we muck raking 9?
You watch us pay 1.5 billion to buy it back
Tring to direct attetion from Trump tarrif. Low
Peter Dutton is shaking in this boot because it was this government party that sold it in the first place 😂 what a joke
Stuff China Australia will take it back
How on earth does China own a port in Australia?
Wake the F Up…
Typical Bi-partisan stuff up. Both sides selling our interests out to China. The only difference is one side will do it faster than the other.
China is a friend of Labor, China and Labor agree on alot of things time to move closer Labor is progressing on this.
Not immigrants sold the port😂
Albanese has no idea. How about Nine start acting in the National interest instead of the left-wing political narrative and cheer squad for Albanese. Let's see what Nine says about Albanese announcing that Australians will be forced to Pay for other people's batteries?
What a fake poll
We need to make it law that no power or gas or coal or real estate be sold to forien companies
Does Dutton (if elected) Also plan on acquiring the Airforce Base that the Chinese Communist Government built And Owns in Western Australia?🤔
Who was the idiot who sold it in the first place, that person would probably sell off his family aswell
It’s not for sale. Dutton sold it.
The entire episode is quite frankly embarrassing. Having the CCP given a real time log of all maritime movements. 😮
Don’t buy it back , just tell the Chinese “ it is ours” EOM
Don't sell it to Elon or Trump. It should never have been sold offshore.
,Australia don’t vote go on strike
What can you do if you don’t develop yourself industry, just like Labour Party to cooperate with China, buy their low quality products, get large Chinese populations to takeover Australia like HongKong. You labour doesn’t know develop industry, just sell resources and land to China, you both party have to correct your mistakes
Wow! Wasn't that stupid now the Chinese gona make millions
Don’t be stupid Australia we haven’t got the US backing us anymore China could crush us if they wanted to let’s not be delusional
