Prime Minister Scott Morrison has said that while Australia has always been open to discussing any of the Chinese regime’s issues, he will not approach dialogues on the basis that the country will acquiesce to Beijing’s demands.

The remarks come after Opposition Labor Leader Anthony Albanese proposed that Morrison seek the help of former prime ministers John Howard and Kevin Rudd to reset the souring Australia-China relationship.
