Independent senator calls for Aus to send back Chinese consulates | Sky News AustraliaIndependent Senator Rex Patrick is calling on the government to send back some of the 148 Chinese consulates operating in Australia, stating they pose a risk to national security and the national interest. \n\n“We need to be winding that sort of stuff back,” he told Sky News. \n\n“It’s excessive at the moment and we know that China is engaging in political interference, we know that they’re trying to influence our politics.” \n\nMr Patrick said Beijing was also trying to access Australia’s industrial and university “secrets”. \n\n“We permit that to occur by having large number of consular officials here in Australia, there’s no question that some of this interference, some of this espionage is being run from some of these consulates,” he said. \n\nChina dealt the most recent blow in rising trade tensions between the two nations by suspending barley exports from Australia’s largest grain exporter, CBH, claiming pests were found in the grain on multiple occasions. \n\n“I don’t think there’s any basis around any of the restrictions they’re putting on Australian goods coming into China, I think it is entirely political,” he said. \n\n“What China is doing is making an example of Australia and we have to counter that.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n
