Hastie warns Russia is now working with China

Federal Assistant Minister for Defence Andrew Hastie says Russia’s invasion of Ukraine represents the trampling of liberal democracy in eastern Europe.
Mr Hastie told Oliver Peterson on Perth LIVE, Australia’s sanctions on Russia will send a message to democracies around the world that the only way to stand up to authoritarian powers is to push back.
He went on the claim China’s response to Russia’s aggression proves they are now working together.
Mr Hastie also had some harsh words for State Labor minister Dave Kelly, over a contentious tweet (see below).
