Ah yes, because in dealing with the question of whether FIRB approval for a Chinese investor to acquire Virgin from Bain is likely, I wrote,
Unless Chairman Dan, of sign me up for CCP Belt and Road Initiative fame, makes it to the Federal Treasury benches the likelihood of that happening is essentially zero. It simply is not going to happen under a Coalition government given the current and foreseeable relationship with China.
Guilty as charged!

And seems to me that you not so 'slightly' dislike the current government. You do you, maybe start a thread on that theme. I mainly do numbers, facts and stuff, generally "on thread".
