Imagine what would happen if an Australian developer did this in China ( not that any Australian developer would be allowed to even operate in China).

And you'll probably find that the Chinese owners received Australian Residency under our ludicrous Significant Investor Visa.
Throw money at us and we'll give you Residency
Current Affair did a story on it. Not able to use the airport and the port has basically made it impossible expect if you are very stubborn.
ABC has also run with it. Apparently there's some unauthorised construction going on now. New unpermitted boat ramp built, shoreline excavated, turtle nesting areas disturbed.

As China piles on the trade pressure, the reality of Australia’s economic place in the world has been laid bare: it is on its own. In a 2017 book, Allan Gyngell, a former director general of the Australian Office of National Assessments, wrote that a ‘fear of abandonment’ drives how Australia...

The US has already stepped in on barley.
NZ and the US are stepping in on wine and seafood.
Verbal support from pollies in the US and NZ is just that - words that are not matched by their actions.
Morrison is a *smile* and that's being derogatory to the wit. The longer he's in charge the more fun China will have.

Beijing set a trap for Scott Morrison and he walked right in
But the crisis of Australia’s sovereignty is far bigger than the week’s events.
Some good reader comments.
The big problem Australia faces right now is that there is no effective opposition at state or federal level.
Look at the alternatives at state level in WA, QLD, Vic, NT - absolutely hopeless and Albo's mob are equally dysfunctional.
So the alternative either doesn't exist or it would probably be worse.
Yeah pretty amazed that people expect we should just bend over and take whatever China wants to shove up our arse. The CCP are a bunch of bullying *smile* and someone needs to stand up to them. It’d be nice if the rest of the world got a sack and stood up as well. Not defending Scomo necessarily but more so the right for countries to defend their sovereign interests. The CCP only acts in the interest of the CCP; not even in the interests of the Chinese people. They are as corrupt as any government in world history. Plus they run over their own people with tanks.
Yet people have a crack at Australia for defending our sovereignty? Very strange.
The line in the article that states that respect for China does not mean mutuality or reciprocity of respect, it just means do as we say and capitulate. That in itself shows CCP attitude to the rest of the world.

So we just cop that do we? I say *smile* you CCP.
The CCP is behaving like a petulant teenager and you never win an argument with one of those by responding in a like manner.
ScoMo also called a press conference less than an hour after the image appearing on Twitter. Apart from it being sensible to basically ignore anything posted on Twitter it doesn't appear that he took the time to consult with others about what would be an appropriate response.
We can stand up for our sovereignty without getting into a shouting match.
It was an official CCP Twitter account. If it was say the mainstream media that would make it different?
The image was disgusting, a soldier slitting the throat of a infant FFS. He had to respond immediately, and he did.
Fortunately my son has never been bullied at school, but if he was I'd initially tell him to ignore him, turn the other cheek hoping he would go away. If the bullying showed no sign of abating of course I would speak with the school, but if that didn't work, I'd tell him to punch the bully in the nose as hard as he could even though the bully would retaliate. He wouldn't be picking on my son anymore because he stood up to the bully. The bully will move onto some other poor soul.
We have turned the other cheek for far too long, time to punch the bully in the nose.
