Controversial radio host Alan Jones has slammed Foreign Minister Marise Payne in an interview for not grounding all flights from China - saying the government is too afraid of offending our biggest trading partner. 'They have repeatedly told us that stopping all flights from China is not recommended at this stage and in fact no other country has stopped all flights from China,' the Foreign Minister said. But that wasn't enough for Jones, who pushed the matter further and claimed 'the public mood' was against Ms Payne. 'At the end of the day I don't think anyone believes that China is telling the international communities the truth,' Jones said. 'I'm just saying if every region in mainland China has confirmed cases - we are flying people out here from all of those regions.'
