Bernard, I suggest you do some research on Dante Tan and Jim Foo then get back to us. The nats and libs did business with the company when they were in govt. so what is your problem.

Grow up.

Well it was all explained in Parliment this afternoon. Seems former PM, ministers & a host of Gov. depts. have been kissing AustChina a-se for ages (claiming not to know them - dumb lies again) for big LIB donations. Think Kevin (in oppo) was just peeking

I wonder what this will do the the Faulkner “War on Political Donations”… I recall only a week or so ago a very twee PM saying “when it comes to” foreign political donations they were not on. Really.

Come on Bernaud - do some work! Claiming “whose links and business ethics are under serious question” doesn’t make it so. You need to actually say what links and what ethics (note: business or otherwise - they should be the same).

Keane you are a fool. And Mayne should be ashamed of himself. I hope Tang sues you all for libel.

Crikey’s readership is perfectly capable of evaluating the ethics of a situation once it knows the facts, ie. once journalists do their jobs. Still waiting to find out exactly why AustChina is the devil (apart from inclusion of the word ‘China’).

China Inc - business press (eg Oz) are reporting BHP/Rio Tinto can’t be bluffed on lost spot prices, China are pissed about investments blocked in USA, want sly investment here? In the mix global climate change discipline coming, Beijing Olympic optics.

Ah so, Mr Tang is the Chinese equivelent of the dreaded Brian Burke!! Come on Bernardo, if this is your major work thus far, I hope the next effort has more substance and interest. I can read the rubbish you write anytime in the News Ltd rags. Move on.

Now we understand why Kevin does not have any ideas despite lying to us about all his plans before the election. If elected MPs, who claim to be working 80 hours a week, spent even 40 hrs on Austn issues rather than filling wallets, we’d all be better off
