Labor continues to bolster China's calculated takeover of Australia's prime agricultural land, critical assets and water entitlements, as well as its manipulation of governments here in Australia and worldwide. Universities respond to demand. Therefore, the cuts to Asian languages are an indication of undesirable courses, not a lack of federal government funding. I note Labor pledged $32 million to strengthen Asian languages if it won the 2019 federal election under Bill Shorten. Labor lost that election, and, therefore, lost its right to govern as patsies for the Chinese Communist regime. Labor should read Australian public sentiment towards China's current aggressive economic action and lack of dialogue with the Australian government. One Nation will not support Labor's motion to fund more Asian languages.
