Australian wine employs more than 160,000 people.

Not looking good, France, and the refusal by the French Ambassador/military to leave Niger despite being rendered persona non grata contradicts rules-based order. Coup or not, guests generally follow those who sit on the seat of govt, but French could be setting a new precedent.

Australian diplomacy must be examined after a supposed security deal leaves the local government teetering, @SiobhanADM writes. "Signing the agreement with Australia has been specifically listed as one of the reasons for the leadership challenge." https://t.co/khBYGzUvi5

[Senator Penny Wong @SenatorWong]

Today, I met China’s Ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian in Canberra.

We discussed a range of bilateral, trade and consular issues.

Australia will cooperate with China where we can, disagree where we must and engage in our national interest.

Fair call, @JoanneEWallis "Aust should offer our ‘Pacific family’ access rather than simply reacting to PRC. Instead of just offering defence funding, we need to look at how hard we make it for then to come here if we want a really meaningful relationship"

Essential reading on a new era of industry competition defined by massive subsidies and export controls. The entanglement of nat security and commercial motives poses difficult policy issues. Analysis by @LowyInstitute Senior Fellow John Edwards out today: https://t.co/7xILGDPbsi
