I am no military or defence expert, just an ordinary Australian who, like most of us, believe that the port of Darwin should never have been leased to a Chinese company (“Defence reviews Darwin port deal,” May 3). Nor do I believe that 50 per cent of the port of Newcastle should have been sold to Chinese interests. The potential national security risk that agencies have identified, combined with the many bans and the imposition of high tariffs on exports by the Chinese government, is already damaging many Australian lives. -
