objective, though the priority given to this objective has been inconsistent. World events,
competing priorities, and political change within the United States all shape the attention and
resources provided to democracy promotion efforts and influence whether such efforts focus on
supporting fair elections abroad, strengthening civil society, promoting rule of law and human
rights, or other aspects of democracy promotion Democracy Promotion: An Objective of U.S.Foreign Assistance (name redacted) Specialist in Foreign Assistance Policy

Via Bronte Capital - Bob Carr and the possible Chinese spies
Last week Four Corners - the premier news program of the Australian Broadcasting Commission ran a story about the influence of the Chinese Communist Party in Australia
Anyway Bob Carr is in The Australian (Murdoch's national newspaper in Australia) dissing the whole Four Corners story. You can read his defence. It didn't go very near how his own organisation might or might not be compromised.
As Bob Carr has chosen Murdoch's network to defend his benefactors maybe I should just end with the most famous News Corp slogan: I report, you decide.

I just think a ninety minute seminar suggesting a string of Chinese billionaires don't have powerful ties to the CCP is - well quaint at best...
