Come on, Throw all the shit to China, if this makes you feel better.

I worked in China for years. Drama drama drama. If they lose face that’s it. They give up.

Rupert Murdoch up to no good?

Yep. & like every Friday, Australians don't believe Scottyfrommarketing We all know that Friday is the day the LiarfromtheShire doubles down on the Gishgallop 'Ooh! Look over there! DON'T look at moi, lookoverthere!' PM overruled & demeaned the Speaker yesterday auspol

Well how about having a secret trial of the states involved?

Now is not the time to talk about libspill auspol auspolcartoons insiders

CIA... Because we are puppets that can be manipulated

Our internet isn't fast enough! lol

SBS This is where Dutton tries to insert himself as PM - Dutton can’t be trusted & he’s first in line to be blaming anyone from another country & claim it for his own gain!

The timing of this 'announcement' looks too immaculate for us to not question it. Right after the 7.1% 19-year high unemployment reporting in the news cycle yesterday and the economical cliff we're projected to hit. auspol

Racist politicians should keep their big mouths shut. Trying to get themselves some airtime on Sky is screwing up foreign relations.

From the CCP hacker army obviously CCPVirus

China, Russia, USA, etc, etc? Who is? Who isn't? And who would if they thought they could get away with it?

Pretty sure the Kamarians are innocent!

Fucking Chig Chongs!

I see stupidity, corruption and lies.

That’s handy

SBS I see SBS is happy 🙄

Sic em rex

No prizes for guessing who it could be... eh Peter Dutton? Great job Pete.

Wolf! Wolf!

auspol Could Morrison be any more transparent? Cybersecurity attacks occur every single day! By a 'foreign entity?' Give us a break! It is obvious his intention is to distract us all from fact economy is stuffed & create an unseen 'enemy!'

Wikileak may tell more hah..

Yeah rite ..takes the heat of his bullying and narcissism ! Grain of salt

Can somebody actually check the facts. How about we review the global threats.

This happens everyday. Scotty is just distracting us from the piece of shit he showed he was in parliament yesterday.

Wow, I wonder who that might be

We need to take strong action against this foreign entity. The cost ? Whatever it is it won't be as bad as what the future holds for us if we don't.

Good, the state is treasonous and we need a new one.

How could you not see this coming?
