She'll be fine the courts will see to it. Having had shares in a defunct media company that were inherited from deceased father on the other hand gets you barred from politics for 10 years.

Again I say there is a difference between being a protestor and being an activist.

Protesting is one thing. Being an activist supporting a terrorist organisation is another. As I said free speech has it's limits.

Tariffs on Australia is mainly about beef imports. Banned for 20 odd years because of a mad cow disease outbreak in the US in 2003. The 10% tariff on Australia according to all opinions I've seen will have very little impact. As for Pine Gap and North West Cape you're talking more than 50 years ago (late 60's NW Cape/early 70's pine Gap). The US will always be Australia's greatest military ally.

Question: Should international students have the right to be activists in support of globally recognised terrorist organisations? Freedom of speech under the First Amendment has it's limitations.

Ah! The CCP shill has spoken. Beware.

What happens here and in most countries when you break the rules of your visa? This seems to be something most if not all of the cackling idiot Harris supporters on here fail to mention.

China is the most dangerous country in the world. Xi is a dictator. Argue against this,

She isn't called the "bat women" for nothing. She works possibly now worked in the Wuhan lab. You are aware of this? What type of corona viruses do you think she was researching? Take a guess.

I will say it one more time. A bat corona virus.

You seem not to know about gain of function. The progenitor was a bat corona virus manipulated genetically and tested on humanised mice. This has resulted in a brand new virus. It's called Sars-CoV-2. Not found in nature and fully adapted to infect humans without any natural evolutionary process.

Again you seem to be missing the point that this particular virus has not been found in nature. This virus was designed and designed to infect humans so a vaccine could be made. Why else would they be using humanised mice. This is what gain of function research is all about. Create virus, create vaccine and make lots of money. It's insane and should be banned globally.

The WHO investigation in early 2021 saw a team of scientists fly to Wuhan on a mission to look into the source of the pandemic. After spending 12 days there, which included a visit to the laboratory, the team concluded the lab-leak theory was "extremely unlikely". But many have since questioned their findings, with one prominent group of scientists criticising the WHO report for not taking the lab-leak theory seriously enough - it was dismissed in a few pages of a several-hundred-page report. Supporters of the natural origin hypothesis - which was backed in the WHO report - say Covid-19 emerged in bats and then jumped to humans, most likely through another animal, or "intermediary host". This hypothesis was widely accepted at the start of the pandemic, but as time has worn on, scientists have not found a virus in either bats or another animal that matches the genetic make-up of Covid-19, leading some to doubt the theory. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz7vypq31z7o Remember that the leader of the WHO team Peter Daszac was was involved with the Wuhan Lab through EcoHealth and was severely comprimised.

You're kidding. As I mentioned above gain of function was being carried out on bat corona viruses. As for no viruses being the same as Sars-CoV-2 you are correct. Nothing in nature has been found.

@candide can you answer these questions for us. Why did the CCP destroy evidence of what was happening at the lab and why in 6 years has no zoonic link been found?

The CCP had a vaccine ready to go or close to it. As for a man-made virus being less likely it's beyond doubt that gain of function experiments were being carried out in the lab on bat corona viruses using humanised mice. As for your scientific research I looked at them (one has been withdrawn) and none of them state their status as having no conflict of interest, conflict of interest being Big Pharma funding.

Please share with us the facts showing without doubt a zoonic transfer of the virus originating in the Wuhan wet market.

Conspiracy theory? Wow! Personally I can't wait for excess deaths to be fully and independently investigated. Another "conspiracy theory" for you.

Please explain the subtleties in your post. "Yes, generally accepted that the most likely cause ... Therefore not generally accepted, or the consensus, that a lableak is the cause." ".... generally accepted ...." ".... not generally accepted ....". To me this is just a contradiction so yes I've obviously missed the "subtleties".

CIA, FBI, US Energy Commission, US Senate Committee Hearing, Germany's Foreign intelligence service and a long list of independent (no big pharma funding) scientists all agree and it is therefore generally accepted that the lab leak is the most likely cause. Worth bearing in mind that as of now no zoonic link has been found and the CCP destroyed evidence.

The lab was funded by the US. It's those on the left otherwise known as the sheep that believed the WHO, governments, Fauci/CDC and the MSN that would deny this and still hang on to the belief that it didn't leak from the lab.

Consensus means generally accepted/agreed upon and it is now generally accepted/agreed upon that the most likely cause of Covid-19 pandemic was from a leak from the Wuhan Lab not zoonic transfer at the wet market. Zoonic transfer is the least likely option.

This is no longer "controversial" or a "conspiracy theory". It is the consensus viewpoint. "Controversial" now would be to insist it came from zoonic transfer from a wet market.

And here's the elephant in the room. Thailand clearly has a two tiered "justice" system and this is a clear example of it. Everyone knows or should know that this was all part of a prearranged deal with the military elites in a bid to protect their own interests and the continuance of the status quo.

An opinion piece from the progressive left. Seriously?
