Another 9 per cent said they held neutral views on the policy, while 3 per cent said they were unsure about their views.Advertisement”Quite clearly, China, the US and EU are subsidising various business activities. Australia could take advantage of that but, in doing so, this materially exposes the country to risk should the export country cut off supply,” one reader argued.“The COVID-19 pandemic taught us a lot about supply risks that are simply ignored in the economic analysis, primarily to make the theory simpler.”This week’s poll, based on responses from 574 people, also invited readers to share their opinions on the increased use of video conferencing in job interviews and the ongoing legal fight between Australia’s eSafety Commissioner and social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, over the global accessibility of videos of the recent Sydney church stabbing.Days after recruiters complained that job seekers would not meet them in person and were often requesting job interviews with prospective employers be held virtually, 64 per cent of readers said job candidates who showed up for an interview in person should get greater consideration for the role than those who only made themselves available for a video interview.This compared with 26 per cent of readers who said in-person applicants should not receive special treatment and 10 per cent who said they were unsure.AdvertisementMeanwhile, 80 per cent said X should take down the church stabbing video, as requested by Australia’s eSafety commissioner. And 60 per cent said the social media platform should be shut down in Australia if it refused a court order to remove the video.This compared with 31 per cent who said the platform should not be closed down if it failed to comply with a court order and 9 per cent who said they were unsure.“Elon Musk is not so powerful [that] he can mandate what policies elected governments around the world have,” one reader said.“If he doesn’t like working in Australia, then he should voluntarily leave or be evicted. This is a black-and-white issue. The US Constitution guaranteeing free speech does not apply here.”","kind":null,"is_publish_news":null,"is_publish_highlight":null,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.22.4","shortVersion":"4.22.4","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2430035763"}
