Senator ANNING (Queensland) (16:51): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator ANNING: We need to acknowledge the very real threat that Red China poses to us here in Australia. Its illegal construction of islands in the South China Sea, its long-range bombers that can reach Australia, and its buying of agricultural land and infrastructure, like the port of Darwin, pose a real threat. Agents of Beijing's gangster regime government are here in Australia coercing Chinese Australians, and if we ignore Red China's threat we do it at our peril.
