Sky News host Peta Credlin says Australian taxpayers are spending millions of dollars on a Chinese construction company to overhaul a port being built in Nauru.
Ms Credlin joined Menzies Research Centre Senior Fellow Nick Cater and Sky News contributor Kosha Gada to discuss the port being built in Nauru.
“Now I know why we’re doing this, we want to limit China’s influence in the region,” she said.
“But I’ve got to wonder whether this is a poor deal for taxpayers because we’re spending all this money buying infrastructure to keep out China in foreign countries.

“Aids used to be about food, water, education, all the sort of basics – now we’re trying to outbid China everywhere in the South Pacific.”
