MB prodding appears to have tipped Rob Burgess over the edge on population:
Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party continues to stoke fears that Australia is becoming “Asian-ised” (whatever that means), and Australian Conservative leader Cory Bernardi complains of the growing threat of “‘influencers’ bankrolled by the Chinese Communist Party”.
The antidote to those scare-mongering views is that China’s tourists want to visit Australia, not only because of our natural and cultural attractions, but because Australia is an open, multicultural nation, which is safe to travel through and which has a strong rule of law.
It’s not so much a question of being ‘swamped’ by Chinese tourists as being heavily tipped by them.
Nobody has ever called for the banning of Asian tourists that I can recall. Chinese corruption in the parliament is not “scare-mongering”, it is fact. Even today there are new allegations.
Extreme open borders drivel is not an argument, Rob.
