They better not be getting any of those batteries from China.

Decoding Australia’s “China Threat”

Referencing a paper that requires purchase isn't terribly helpful as I'm sure you knew and deliberately chose to do.

From the blurb, I'd there's more nuance than "China bad" - pretty all our major trading partners have issues, so unless you're suggesting fortress Australia and cut off the world your comment is utter bullshit.

Buy batteries from where ever the hell we can get them, it makes us independent of fossil fuels which makes us more independent of world shenanigans like the orange one just pulled
