Ok, same link....
The former prime minister John Howard told the Herald: "I had a very positive view of his contribution to the relationship [with China].
"He always struck me as a person interested in a genuine way in building relations between China and Australia. I never discussed donations with him … the access he had was not so frequent as to even justify that question."
Dr Chau is a Chinese-born Australian citizen but has channelled most of his donations through his overseas companies - the Kingold Group in China, the HK Kingson Investment in Hong Kong and another Hong Kong entity, Chun Yip Trading.
Federally, Labor has vowed to ban foreign donations, but legislation to achieve this has stalled in the Senate. |

To suggest that Political donations are "not given to curry favour", for the person/business/union etc making the donation, is pure fantasy!
There is a very strong argument, for Political donations to be made ILLEGAL, much the same as "insider trading" on the stock exchange.
Given that "Political Donations" were made illegal, the follow up position could be "Public Funding" of political party's, based on electoral votes? |

Nana - italy made a substantial donation to assist victims of the victorian bushfires. Like it or not, the Aboriginal people need assistance.
Rudd gave money to Italy on behalf of the australian people
Rudd is providing assistance to the aboriginal people
Rudd increased your pension by over 60pf

I would think, larkhill, you might take a broader view than scoring cheap points.
It is in this country's interest to have people like Dr Chau involved in representing our position at the highest Chinese levels, whether he has business interests at the same time or not. |

I agree. If you hadn't noticed this was a dig at the reaction from your side to Chinese money coming to Australia. So how about climbing into all the lib supporters who scream sellout every time China is mentioned? |

This is laughable.
Howard and the coalition looked the other way while AWB executives financially SUPPORTED dictator Saddam Hussein - in return for special favours.
Howard gave millions of taxpayer dollars to his brother to help out his struggling business - while ignoring the plight of Ansett citing that the government should not be helping out struggling businesses!
And now we learn that a Chinese billionaire businessman "donated" almost $1m to the coaltion and we're supposed to think there were no strings attached to it?
There is more and more evidence coming out proving that the coalition did far worse things than the alleged "utegate" affair!
You libbers are truly pathetic!
Everyone knows Howard is a liar, a racist, a h0m0phobe, a sexist, a war criminal and now a crook! |

It seems that everyone, except some rusted on leftards, accepts that Mr Howars is yesterdays news, he ain't coming back. Time to move on for the sake of what's left of your mental health. |

No he ain't. But as long as there are federal liberal members who not only acquiesced to Howard but still refuse to repudiate his putrid policies, I for one will keep reminding you just why the libs lost power. |

yep Larks - until Minchin, Abbott, Andrews, Bishop (both), and the other remnants of Howard's Heroes are no longer in parlt., then Howard will continue to be resurrected.
After all, the Libs still crap on about Whitlam, and Keating. |
