As the surge of coronavirus infections increases, healthcare workers are becoming desperate. "The shortage of personal protective equipment in NSW hospitals is scandalous," one healthcare worker told the. "Doctors and nurses on the front line feel inadequately protected, exposed and vulnerable."
Greenland Group sourced 3 million protective masks, 700,000 hazmat suits and 500,000 pairs of protective gloves from several countries including Australia. In February Risland’s LinkedIn page showed pallet-loads of safety gear being stored in a warehouse ready for shipment. "90 tons of selective medical supplies… ready for the air transport direct from Sydney to Wuhan via corporate jet on Monday next week," said the company’s post.
Comparing to the Chinese, is there any Australian would do the same? Everyone here in Australia only cares about themselves.
Deport every one of them and force the sale of any properties they own.
Disgraceful
The so-called 'political correctness' of 'donations' The resources are taken away, of course, they are found to be scolded ... PR work is not done well, they should think from a local perspective instead of building an ugly image overseas on behalf of most Chinese companies
We are all grown ups, when we have thousands of people on the beach when we all need to stay home who do we blame? We are digging our own grave! Until we own up to our inaction we will not get out of this.
I’m sorry was this illegal to export back in Jan? China has never ban export to Australia, just buy those masks back! Isn’t this free market? there’s politics behind everything now! Disgusting article, shame on you !
JennyMikakos please look into this. DanielAndrewsMP what risk they bought back
Really? Exclusive? I don’t think no one knew it when it happened in Jan/Feb. It’s the END of March now. Medical practioners are not even encouraged to have masks till yesterday? It’s more like smog to cover the bad political decisions.
You know that the Chinese have paid?You know AU companies were making fortune when China was most vulnerable? You know jobs had been saved because of high demand? You know AU government could of limited this if they wanted to but they didn’t? Then why China is the one to blame?
No shade. They operated legally and Wuhan was the centre of a medical and humanitarian nightmare at the time. Pandemic preparedness was underway in most states in Oz and at that time, forced requisition of medical supplies as now was not considered. Nasty xenophobic angle.
There goes the neighbourhood, literally.
Close them down and fuck the company off , they don’t care about this country there just using it to pilfer for their own .
That is why they are one of the oldest “civilisations”in the world. Always one step ahead. Most big Aus companies are owned by them, and most of the ones you least expect.
Well now we have a million or so unemployed, let’s get them making face masks and hazmat suits. How hard is it
So that explains why the major hospital I work at can’t get any PPE? Thanks 😟
When does it become a criminal offence. Bingo now! We really don't need these people in our country.
Not one report on aussies stuck in india under lockdown. This is the toildet I have to use
Are we still believing Huawei has nothing to do with the Chinese government?
Disgraceful from so many angles. Shame on the Chinese Australian based companies for doing this! Shame on the government for being SO STUPID & allowing foreign companies to have so much power in Oz. I worry about the power the Chinese government has in Oz.
If the Pandemic had been stopped or slowed in its early phases we wouldn’t have such a problem now. Foreign aid to health systems supports our health. Surely this is one of the lessons we are learning
🤦🏻♂️
Lucky we have a trade surplus with China. We can buy our medical supplies back. covid19australia
What a evil report to make people feel bad about helping others! Shameless! Don’t you know many Chinese individuals and companies now are sending medical supplies to Australia?
They didn’t rob the resources, they bought them with 💰 cash!
This is shit!!! Government needs to take control of anything entering the country and leaving!! He needs to remove rights of all foreign investors
I’ve had enough of these parasites.
Are these clowns still in this country? Get them!
And? I’ve bought things for my friends and family in times of need. What’s the point?
What's the point of this news?
ScottMorrisonMP what are you going to do about this !? It shuuld be illegal at the moment to export medical supplies without govt approval. But wait. You've suspended parliment until August, so meanwhile we're being stripped of vital medical supplies covid19australia
Yes getting away with our goods 😠
Was that strategic? Less for Australians means China can let it spread within AU faster! My rant for the day..
Why people are angry? Because we can’t even buy 1 mask in Australia as at now. Why do you think there is no temperature scanning in any airports and other areas...? Basic things are robbed from the Australian market.
So now that the CCP says the virus is “contained” in China, will they be sending the world their hoarded supplies of protective products and sanitising equipment? Highly unlikely makechinaaccountable
Great, another failure of our Governments to protect essential supplies, they were informed in Jan/Feb of the potential of this virus.
Cease all dealings with China effectively immediately this is a dogs act.
I will say they are good people in heart and helping others in need. And they are probably the ones would help Australia when we are also in need. What have TheAge do to help Australia so far?
Property Developer Donations Political corrupter's Into Medical suppliers what ever the big bucks are in Greed will join IN
There should be massive financial implications brought to any company in Australia that has done this. Let’s see if the Government steps up here and whether they will take swift action, or just sweep it under the carpet.
This is one of dozens that organised gangs are supplying. It must be stopped as its taking critical supplies from Australians.Where is Peter Dutton's crackdown. PeterDutton_MP auspol SkyNewsAust
And we sold the Darwin port to Chinese owners, who is checking what is going out of there at the moment? Not a conspiracy theory just like to know.
Are we surprised Come on.....
Reduce your opponents ability to defend itself, stage a serious outbreak and fudge the numbers making you look like the victim. We will never know we were ever attacked.
Decimating medical supplies while telling the world it's not serious. China is a self serving communist state. It does not care for anyone except itself. ChinaLiedPeopleDied
Throw the bums out!
The Chinese government now can spy and act freely according to its maniac interests from within Australia. That is the achievement of the horrible Free Trade Agreement with China signed by Labor and Liberals. Australia becoming another Hong Kong?
Everyone is looking for the anti Chinese angle, but if they hadn’t done that then the virus would have spread even faster and further. China has at least gained full control of the Covid19 virus, something the rest of the world haven’t done!
Nationalise all our medical companies, kick the Chinese out !
A racist article whose sole intent is to incite hatred at a time when people should be sticking together.
We’re buying masks back from China now!
BenRoss_AKL
They sold masks to China in February because Australia government did not expect the country will surfer the same bad situation of virus. They banned China from January but let US brought major virus inputs Australia until late of March. Don’t fool us to cover Gov’s ass.
We’re these medical supplies made in Australia? Was the Australian government aware of this at the time? I trust China is now reciprocating and sending critical medical supplies to Australia.
Don't complain or you're a racist. Repeat that to yourself as you wander through the empty shelves at the supermarket and chemist. The government is looking out for the everyday Australian... 🤔🤦♂️auspol
Should deregister this company, strip off those with Australian citizenships and expel the lot back to China... traitors... make my blood boils!!!!!
Reading this thread leads me to think people Are stupid. Pay attention to the timelines people
Time now to show some Aussie socialism and kick back hard! * Compulsorily re-acquire foreign owned 'investments' * Ban non-residents and visa holders from investing in property * Take back Qld/NSW/SA river system * Strictly monitor and act against unlawful activities on WeChat
It was LNP that have made it Possible for this to happen. We need to Get Rid of the LNP for the Sake of Australia
Both reports fail to mention all transactions were legit and happened back in Jan/Feb 2020 when China was the sole epicentre of the crisis. The entire world was offering help. I am kinda disgusted by the tone and the real purpose of those articles which only stir up hatred.
LNP philosophy: The market will decide.
I'm sure they'll be importing ten fold to help their adopted country now China is starting to gear up again That's the Aussie way
So who is monitoring this stuff...oh yeah, the decimated public service led by a government that was asleep at the wheel.coronavirusaustralia covid19australia
Disgraceful!!!!shows how far they planned ahead on behalf of the Chinese communist party , this company should be shut down immediately , there developments need to be publicized to aussies recetatctyry have done and boycotted . ChangeAus can you start a petition.
Treason
Conspiracists might wonder if it was a need for them to have them in Wuhan or a want to not have them in Australia.
So capitalism working how it should then.
The LiberalAus and ScottMorrisonMP have a lot to answer for!!!!! They alowed Australia to be robbed and our assets sold to the Chinese!!!!!
ScottMorrisonMP PeterDutton_MP
1800s or 2020? Peddling the same shit still after 300 years.
They are brilliant. Now you should do the same, bring 80 tonnes from US
What needs to happen for us to understand that if we are not strong as a nation, we will be robbed by other nations? We need to get rid of Greens and Labor and put Australia first.
