Australia correspondent Karen Middleton looks at the visit to Australia of Chinese Premier Li Qiang - the first in eight years - that held high hopes on both sides of stabilising relations between the nations.
There was a bit of panda diplomacy, with the offer of two new pandas for Adelaide zoo, but also tension when a Chinese official tried to obstruct the view of a formerly detained Australian journalist.
Opposition leader Peter Dutton is set to unveil his much-touted policy to throw out a long-standing moratorium on nuclear power in Australia and Robert Irwin, son of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, has threatened to sue One Nation after it used his cartoon likeness - along with Bluey - in a satirical video about the state of Queensland.
Karen Middleton is political editor of the Guardian Australia.
