Couldn't really say, but in the past few months Albanese and other reps on foreign trade have been meeting directly with China (PRC) and attending various Asian region trade summits.
These meetings are because in the past couple of years various embargoes and heavy tariffs including outright band on some Australia's exports or some of China's exports, being loosened or reinstated from either country.
Again, the political stance and siding Britain's countries have with USA and Ukraine are making other regional problems difficult at best, but do understand trade is carried out by "product transport" i.e. ships and aircraft, ships and aircraft are what China uses to surround Taiwan.
So it's no surprise the transportation equipment gets held up by political and military transport arguments and dangers in places such as the Taiwan straight that has so much of NATO and US Navy patrolling in it, including British navy.
No surprise!
My eBay pack from Taiwan took over a month. I only contacted them once in that time to find if everything coming along because of the military political situation.

Do you pronounce your username as:

Nice Photo-G

or

nice-foe-tog

Are you a nice photographer?

Years ago there was a merchandising company called nice man merchandise and the owner was well known as a prick to deal with.

I was an amateur photographer for decades, I think my Flickr stream remains up.
For most I do some freeware computer programming using Java core and earlier web services and Tomcat server.

I have always read nicephotog's username as "nice foe-tog"

But more importantly how do you pronounce yours ?

is it "Kite-boy Dave"

or "kite Boy-dave"

or (and this is how I usually read it, correctly or not): "my" (space) "screen" (space) "name" ?

That guy is a clumb dunt and I'm glad he's was sent to the wilderness with Remery, PCdefender and Dezi. Again, my haircut is funnier than your comment.
