The Australian government has declared it will “continue to welcome” Hong Kong residents, but it won’t be drawn on calls for it to match the UK’s offer of safe haven for people fearing China’s planned security laws.
Australian parliamentarians from across the political spectrum are urging the government to help the people of Hong Kong, amid growing international concern about the impact of Beijing’s decision on the city’s rights and freedoms and on the stability of the international finance hub.
The British foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, revealed he had asked Australia and other partners to consider “burden-sharing if we see a mass exodus from Hong Kong”.
Much as I love Australia Wayne I'm not quite ready yet to pack my bags, hijack a Star Ferry, and set my compass for the 'Land Down Under'...Over the years we've weathered a few storms and still managed to come out safely on the other side...Hopefully, this is just one more.
So, in the words of the great Winston, I intend to " Keep Buggering On!"
all the best,
Andy.
