And the list put out by Alain Bacoke, appears to be based on a popularity contest, gathered from comments made on X and WhatsApp:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

There are countries where ministers are selected from the best available in the country, not always the best available in upper, or lower house.

I don't know what the rules are in the DRC.

After more than a year, I'm still waiting for a response from Penny Wong.

Not surprising though, she would need to run any proposed response through the Australian Socialist League and the Sydney Gay Pride Committee. If I have offended anyone, harden the fuck up.

China's foreign minister expected in Australia for high-level talks within weeks

Officials are planning for China's foreign minister to come to Australia for high-level talks within weeks as both countries prepare for Premier Li Qiang to make a state visit later this year.

The federal government has signalled it's determined to maintain dialogue with top leaders in Beijing despite tensions between the two countries flaring once again in the wake of the suspended death sentence handed to Australian academic Yang Hengjun.

While no dates for the premier's visit have been set or announced, the ABC has been told it could happen about the middle of this year.

In the meantime, Australian officials are planning to host the seventh Australia-China Foreign and Strategic Dialogue, most likely in late March, although the federal government is again stressing that no dates have been locked in.

The last dialogue was held in late 2022 when Foreign Minister Penny Wong met China's State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing.

Mr Wang is also currently slated to make the trip to Australia in March, as well as travelling to New Zealand for talks with Foreign Minister Winston Peters.

China may announce new foreign minister

Wang Yi replaces his missing successor as Chinese foreign minister.

Richard McGregor from the Lowy Institute told the ABC that if Mr Wang visited it would have symbolic weight, as he'd be the most senior Chinese politician to visit Australia since then-premier Li Keqiang in 2017.

"If it's going to be a substantive meeting with Premier Li Qiang then yes, the Chinese foreign minister should come first," he said.

"Both sides will be looking to sort out an agenda, and to seek reassurances on particular issues, as well as laying out areas where they want to disagree."

However, a question mark may hang over exactly who will make the trip.

China may announce a new foreign minister to succeed Mr Wang next week during the upcoming session of its rubber-stamp legislature, the National People's Congress.

Mr Wang only returned to the ministerial role last year after the disappearance of then-foreign minister Qin Gang.

One leading candidate to replace Mr Wang is the current director of the Communist Party's International Liaison Department, Liu Jianchao, who led a delegation to the United States for talks with the Secretary of State Antony Blinken in January, and who also visited Australia late last year.

Benjamin Herscovitch from the Australian National University said if Mr Liu did did visit instead of Mr Wang, he would be a "very familiar figure to Penny Wong".

"Although personnel movements in the senior ranks of the Chinese government and Communist Party are hard to predict from the outside, Liu's ascension to the foreign minister post seems likely," he said.

"Liu's active and high-profile travel schedule, especially in recent months, is consistent with him being prepped for the role of foreign minister."

Visit could come as wine tariffs dropped

Dr Herscovitch said there would be "a lot of contentious issues on the agenda for the foreign ministers, including everything from the Mr Yang's suspended death sentence to Beijing's efforts to convince Canberra to take a more permissive approach to Chinese investments".

But he pointed out that a visit in late March could coincide with Beijing withdrawing crippling tariffs on Australian wine, with a decision expected on the tariffs by the end of March.

"A March visit would likely offer the counterpoint of the positive atmospherics of progress on the removal of China's wine duties, which would probably appeal to both governments," he said.

Mr McGregor said while both countries would be looking to negotiate potential collaboration in areas like clean energy, and even the critical mineral sector, any agreements would have to be "finely calibrated".

He said there were still deep structural constraints in the bilateral relationship, despite the high tempo of anticipated visits.

"The way I look at the relationship now is like one of those sine waves we studied in science in high school," he said.

"It's going up and down but within a very confined band. So people shouldn't over-egg their expectations for a massive cataclysmic breakthrough."

Carlos, Penny Wong (Red Penny) and DFAT will be burning the midnight oil and doing everything humanly possible to hose down the issue raised by the head of ASIO, Mike Burgess today.

The issue is that a foreign intelligence agency successfully cultivated and recruited a federal politician several years ago. The unnamed individual is accused of selling out his/her country, party, and former colleagues to advance the interests of China.

It will be a frosty meeting in Beijing if Red Penny can't get it burried ahead of her meetings with Chinese negotiators.

Although Chinaphiles traditionally come from the other side of politics, Malcolm Turnbull flew to China as an MP between 15 and 18 April 2019, after losing the prime ministership. At the time, he was a very, very angry man...just say'n.

Addendum: Apparently the MP in question was touted a potential future PM, which if true, rules out Malcolm Turnbull because he was a past PM.

Not sure it's pathetic but it's sad. Not that reaching out to her is sad but that we need to even reach out to her.

That's how sad investing in AVZ has been.

Props to Jag and all others giving it all 👍👍

Further more, why don’t others get off their arse and instead of sooking on forums, go out and engage our political leaders ensuring they know our story.

I know it has been discussed previously however are there other cases where the DRC have ignored ICC rulings?
Besides damages being incurred through the seizure of international assets, is non-compliance something the DRC would care about or is the country too damaged to care?

The sentiment is good but just not sure why political leaders would be bothered championing the cause of 20,000 mums and dads who took a big risk in Africa. Especially in the midst of their international legal proceedings.

Can't see what's in it for the govt really. At the diplomatic level we have a small-time engagement with the DRC so its debatable how much weight our political leaders can bring to bear on the DRC.

I believe gov is doing more then we know, I’d think ever since the blocking by FIRB, they have been looking over this.
The Resources and Energy Quarterly forecasts lithium export of $17 billion in 2023–24, making lithium Australia's sixth largest resources and energy export commodity.
So if China steals biggest deposit and tanks the market it affects more then AVZ, that’s why AUS gov should be fighting for our rights.
