Tasmanian Labor condemns the comments made about China by members of the Palmer United Party.
“Tasmanian Labor highly values our long-standing relationship with China and recognises that China is one of our most important trading partners,” Shadow Treasurer Scott Bacon said.
“Labor is proud of the work it undertook to build the strategic relationships and networks that are now delivering significant new investment to Tasmania and increasing visitor numbers.
“Tasmania is home to a proud and hardworking Chinese community that contributes much to the growth of our state and Tasmanian Labor values their contribution.
“Tasmanian Labor condemns the dangerous, provocative and irresponsible comments of Clive Palmer and Tasmania Senator Jacquie Lambie.”
