 For sure Labor has sold out to the CCP. They’re all commies and always have been, they mostly hide it but it’s there if you look. The previous PM had to intervene and scrapped the Vic Labor Gov’s agreement for Belt and Road in the state - signed by probably the biggest commie of them all in Dan Andrews. https://amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/apr/21/federal-government-tears-up-victorias-belt-and-road-agreements-with-china

The right-side of politics is not as fervently aligned but they’ve sold out and accept the floods of cash coming in to our housing ponzi, and they realise we need them as an export partner because we can’t value-add anything in this country. But they tend to be more US-aligned generally.

Realistically we’re a security vassal of the US and an economic vassal of China at this point.
