Enterprise commentator Terry McCrann says “China is the giver and taker” in its relationship with Australia.
“It provides us what it desires to present us, and it takes what it desires to take and what it desires to take is primarily iron ore and coal,” Mr McCrann instructed Sky Information host Andrew Bolt.
“It can take what it desires. It put bans on issues like barley and wine that are crucial to the those that have been producing it in Australia, however they have been small and naked within the scheme of issues.
“We’re speaking about a whole bunch of thousands and thousands of {dollars} whereas within the case of iron ore and coal we’re speaking actually a whole bunch of billions of {dollars}.
“So, the underside line in all that is we are able to do every thing we predict we are able to do to influence China. We will play robust, we are able to play good, however it makes completely no distinction on the finish of the day.”
