Yep that’s the one I am talking about, it wasn’t meant to be a “joint press confrence” Greg Hunt jumped in at the last minute, the press conference had already been organised for Forrest and the Chinese to announce the medical supplies.

But the media spun it, because obviously a controversy gets more clicks, and if Gareth Parker can whip his listeners into and outrage, they stay tuned in and listen to more ads.

Billionaire miner Andrew Forrest has been accused of ambushing the Australian government after he parachuted one of China’s top diplomats into an official event, blindsiding Health Minister Greg Hunt.
Mr Forrest, the Fortescue chairman, surprised Mr Hunt by inviting China’s consul-general for Victoria Zhou Long to speak alongside him on Wednesday after he secured 10 million coronavirus tests from China, a 20-fold increase in Australia’s testing capacity.

Andrew Forrest was on the Today show the next day saying that it was his press conference, but it was to late by then the media had a juicy story to print.

Yes, I have read it 4 times now, what is it you want me to be getting from this article written about what some radio announcer said about Andrew forest?

what I want you to understand is that this was Andrew Forrest press conference, he organised it, he can invite along who ever he likes.

I am talking about the one in Perth, it was arranged by twiggy, Greg Hunt asked if he could join in.

If Greg Hunt was so upset by Twiggy, why would he do a second press Confrence with him, it’s a Media Beat mate, and you took the bait.

What is it exactly about the press conferences that upset you?

The presser in Perth was with WA health minister Roger Cook the one with Runt was in Melbourne commonwealth parliament offices which pretty much explains why Hunt was there

Either way, Greg Hunt wasn’t upset by it, it’s just a media beat up.

Andrew Forrest has said that his Minderoo foundation was the one the organised the press conference, which makes sense because it was them that organised the 10 million testing kits that they had arranged.

 

[Humid]

And Hunt was there to thank him one would assume

Beware of billionaires bearing gifts: Twiggy's ambush a long time coming

Critics of 'Twiggy' Forrest's 'ambush' of Health Minister Greg Hunt need to realise that this is nothing new for the billionaire.

And we ended up paying top dollar for them
What a philanthropist he is.
Put a smile on the Chinese as well.

The irony that the delivery came from Wuhan would not have been lost on the Chinese either.

Its a full service delivery in Wuhan. Give u the virus and give u some ppe... Which if course u will have to pay for.

Seriously? Totally taking aside its made in china a 20yo microwave is something you should think twice about.

Even its working good chances it has developed or developing radiation leaks are fair, unless u have the gear to test it, or hide behind a wall each time you use it, time to upgrade before u start having migraines and vomiting randomly

A couple of years ago we did a cruise from Tianjin, around Japan and back to Tianjin.
I cracked up when we returning to the ship at the last port of call in Japan, nearly every Chinese passenger was carrying a box back onto the ship, I asked one of them what is everyone buying and was told "Japanese rice cookers: apparently they reckon chinese ones are $hit.

Gee, a “Crikey” article, really scraping the bottom of the barrel there, hahaha.

Yeah I couldnt fiind a reference for it on your choice of News service The Today show with Karl
hahaha

 

[Clansman]

Hahaha, yeah I have thought of that, and will be replacing it once our kitchen Reno is done, but It was the first appliance I ever bought myself when I left home, and it still works great.

You should certainly consider having it looked at as it certainly wouldn't have been looked at during manufacture.
Remember this is the country that suffocated 70 of it's navy personnel in a submarine, including some young cadets.

Well I linked an actual interview from the guy involved, Karl being involved is irrelevant, while Crikey is nothing but flim flam.

It’s not like Australia hasn’t had our own share of military disasters, look at the HMAD Westralia for example, just lucky that didn’t happen on a submarine or we would have lost the entire crew also.

I have no idea what the Costello channel is, but of course I look for actual interviews from the people involved rather than 3 hand political opinion pieces such as Crikey,... but you do you.
