It was again the Leader of the Labor Party, when he was asked about Mr Keating's comments criticising AUKUS and saying China was not a threat, who made this response:

Paul Keating always has strong things to say and it's always important to listen to what he has to say … He is wise counsel.

Well, I don't agree with the Leader of the Labor Party about Paul Keating's criticisms of AUKUS and this threat. I don't share his view, nor do I share the view of the member for McMahon, who said:

We will come to office if we win the next election with an open mind as to how Australia and China can best collaborate on the Belt and Road Initiative.
