Oliver Peterson: Australia Correspondent on Premier Li Qiang's visit

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays

Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have agreed to properly manage their nations' differences during a visit.   This follows an era in which minister-to-minister contacts were banned and trade barriers cost Australian exporters up to 20 billion Australian dollars ($21.5 billion NZD) a year.   Australia Correspondent Oliver Peterson told Heather du Plessis-Allan “On the one hand: keep buying our iron ore and wine, but also we don’t really want you to talk to our Pacific neighbours and - get out of the South China Sea.”  Peterson said “It doesn’t really fit in with the narrative of our two nations at this stage.”  LISTEN ABOVE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
