Newly-elected Liberal MP Gladys Liu has cut ties with some Chinese organisations after questions about their links to China's propaganda arm. 9News

Ms Liu had been a council member for two China Overseas Exchange Association chapters from 2003 to 2015, which were later rolled into China's United Front propaganda arm.But yesterday, the first-term MP revealed she had an honorary role with the Guangdong Overseas Exchange Association in 2011 but no longer had any relationship with the organisation.

Former Labor senator Sam Dastyari, who resigned from the frontbench and then from parliament after scandals involving Chinese businessmen, said Ms Liu had questions to answer. " does anyone honestly believe that if she wasn't a member of the Liberal party that the prime minister and others wouldn't be calling for her scalp right now?"

9NewsAdel Isn't it amazing that politicians only 'act' when they are caught and outed to try and save their own slimy skin and governments will do anything to get into and stay in power - even put themselves before national security.

She say's... not good enough This is the PM's fault surely he knew ASIO had been on her case before the Election and before he stabbed Malcolm in the back

9NewsSyd Ah, but ASIO failed to realise that ScottMorrisonMP didn’t care - Politcal expediency is supreme.
