Liberal MP Gladys Liu is under pressure to explain her links to a Chinese government-linked group with one crossbench senator calling for the matter to be referred to security agencies.

Ms Liu, who is the first Chinese woman elected to the House of Representatives, has refused to explicitly criticise China after questions were raised about her connections to Chinese Communist Party propaganda organisations.Liberal MP Gladys Liu pats a koala during a National Threatened Species Day event at Parliament House on Tuesday.Centre Alliance Senator Rex Patrick is unsatisfied by Ms Liu's explanation, suggesting she make a statement in Parliament on the matter.

Labor frontbencher Joel Fitzgibbon said Ms Liu had questions to answer after a"train wreck" interview on Sky News."I think it's now incumbent upon her to make a statement in the parliament reassuring Australians, particularly those in her electorate, that she is a fit and proper person to be serving in the House of Representatives.""I think the Australian people deserve that reassurance," Mr Fitzgibbon said.

She said she could not recall whether she had been a council member for two China Overseas Exchange Association chapters from 2003 to 2015. "I have no knowledge that that organisation was part of whatever influential China body. If it was, it was definitely not during my time," she said.
