Just when you thought our relationship with China couldn’t get any worse, tensions between Australia and our biggest trading partner escalated even further this week over… a tweet. How very 2020. In covering the story we examined “shitpost diplomacy”, analysed how Australia and China got to this point at all, and asked where it all might lead. We’ve also kept an eye on Gladys Berejiklian, reported on former defence minister Christopher Pyne’s new gig, and waxed poetic about Andrew Bolt’s big move.

A Crikey gift subscription is something you can get done right now, won’t get stuck in the mail, doesn’t produce any plastic and keeps on giving all year long. |
