Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton says the Coalition has been “left quite exposed” following former Labor Senator Sam Dastyari’s comments on Liberal MP Gladys Liu. Ms Liu failed to explain why her name appeared on documents from a council with connections to Chinese political influence operations in an interview with Sky News host Andrew Bolt on Tuesday night.
Weighing in on the issue during a fiery interview with Sky News Political Editor David Speers, Mr Dastyari said if Ms Liu wasn’t a member of the Liberal Party, Prime Minister Scott Morrison and others would be calling for her “scalp”. Mr Dastyari resigned from the Senate in 2017 over his dealings with a controversial Chinese businessman.
