Senior government figures are bracing for "more to come" in the saga, with experienced staff likely to be deployed to Ms Liu's office by the end of the week.
Foreign Minister Marise Payne said it was "offensive" to suggest that Ms Liu's previous associations suggested she was not fit and proper to sit in Parliament.Labor's shadow attorney-general Mark Dreyfus accused Ms Liu of issuing a statement "written by the foreign minister" and said the the government had more questions to answer.
Centre Alliance senator Rex Patrick said the revelations about Ms Liu were a "cause for serious concern" and said Mr Morrison should "seek advice from ASIO". "Australia's longstanding position on the South China Sea is consistent and clear. We do not take sides on competing territorial claims but we call on all claimants to resolve disputes peacefully and in accordance with international law."
So we had a Chinese Communist spy in our Democracy
ScottMorrisonMP here's a tip for you to find an ethnic Chinese candidate without any tie with Chinese Communist. Taiwanese background. Period. auspol GladysLiuMP
Sack her
Get RID of her ... she would be as untrustworthy as Mao ... lies lies lies she speaks with forked tongue.
Now, about Dutton's eligibility...
Time to go Ms Liu - follow Sam's lead - surely the appropriate thing to do.
😳 Apalling. Whoever do we trust in Government... 🥺
Just resign now GladysLiuMP
noplaceforsheep Ironic, given the government is purportedly liberal/conservative rather than identifying as being on the political left.
Was a member? Keep digging. Just wonder back in 60s and 70s if pollies that were once a member of the communist party had to resign too or were pushed out. ? If there were some ?
This government is incapable of ever admitting it made a mistake, fixing it, and moving on.
Are you sure about that
Removing this CCP asset will be a test of leadership for ScottMorrisonMP . Considering the rest of his career, I have no confidence in his passing it.
MSMWatchdog2013 I eat Chinese food.. I wear Chinese made clothes I buy Chinese made good. My Chinese Made Smart TV. My Chinese made washing machine. I have a phone that was made in China.. It doesn't mean I am a Spy for the Chinese Government.
this woman is Hong Kong born ! fleeing to aus, enjoying freedom and working for chinazi ! SHAME ON YOU
Sack her
Admits to being a Chinese spy.
ScottMorrisonMP's seriously misread 'quiet Australians' view on GladysLiuMP. ASIO raised national security issues. Preselection issues. High Court case re how-to-vote misinfo and AEC-colour signs on 'how to make a legal vote'. Qns re who funded her extensive campaign. auspol
Should step down
The sooner our true leader Rupert Murdoch puts a stop to this Saga the better
I’m thinking about changing my name to Gladys.. it seems to work wonders for despotic characters despite their ethnicity..even the most racist of regimes welcome them into their origami folds
The spy within.
Has she got dual citizenship btw?
How is this allowed We have an agent of the Chinese communist party in our own parliament this is a MAJOR security risk and treasonous behavior by LNP she should resign immediately!!
And then she resigned ...not
iwantmynbn If ScottMorrisonMP won’t force Gladys Liu to resign then it proves Australia needs a fully independent Federal ICAC now! whatruhiding auspol
Foreign interference is a greater threat than terrorism according to Duncan Lewis, retiring head of ASIO. Why is the federal government ignoring this threat? Morrison needs to put Australia's interests before those of the Liberal Party.
Time to deport her
Everyone knows
Really? Must have had an arfa moment? Quite catchy in the lnp
Hey ScottMorrison I think this belated admittance has grubby undertones don’t you? agentLui
No look good Gladys
Time to go
She has lied and cannot be trusted especially in the position of power that she is currently in. She should resign or be sacked.
Time to resign from the liberal party and resign from the parliament Gladys 😠
Morrison attacked San Dastyari over mythical allegiance to Australia. Sam has more love of Australia in his little finger than Liu has in her whole body.
While I wouldn't call her an enemy agent, but her loyalties must be questioned and if it turns out she is an active plant for the ChiComs, she has no place in our government. But neither has 'Ann' Aly for that matter, and a few others.
Ouch.
tilly64 This only reinforces that the election was rigged and there is too much Chinese influence in govt - Forget border protection as the enemy is already within
tilly64 Considering the LNP's love for all things China, it does not surprise me as they are traitors to Australia - The only thing that the govt considers is in theirs and the national interest is China
Bukumbooee This diaper will not be changed till it starts leaking all over the sanctuous floor of the Parliament, coz that’s the standard LNP has set for everything.
Typical neoLiberal Party politician - corrupt, sheltered and self-serving at every turn
HkarterKarter of course she was - makes ScottMorrisonMP's presser this morning even more embarrassing defending the indefensible - Morrison should resign as well auspol
She's ambivalent but in fairness to her Australia encourages ambivalence in immigrants.
She needs to resign or they should sack her. The lies she told- who believes they just add your name It’s an honor and privilege for them to be on those committees and they don’t just add anyone. There’s a whole process that they go through beforehand.
Get rid of her.
Kick her out of parliament. Is she dual citizen?
So now she’s remembered and that makes it all right ?
Meanwhile, 7 News and the Murdoch media pump out Taylor Swift content. I am trying to work out if Murdoch / Stokes' attack dog Bolt's grilling of Liu was fair dinkum or strategically showing that the LNP press was exploring... We shall see.
LNP showing double standards. auspol
Sack her immediately.
This is a big chance for & AlboMP and labor to gain some valuable votes .. they need to attack Ms Liu and her links to China
Is that so different from her current membership of the LNP propaganda unit?
derpnik So concerns over her Communist Party membership & questions of loyalty are fucking 'offensive'? But it was OK for Sam Dastyari to be accused of treason & hounded out of Parliament despite being neither a traitor nor disloyal?
Off you go, Gladys!
Hey ShanghaiScott you need to get rid of this potential spy immediately.
She's a foreign agent if she's dual national or Chinese born will Dutton deport her?
This ScottMorrisonMP Govt spends millions on forcing a family onto Christmas Island who are loved and wanted in a small rural Australian community but support and back this suspect MP. God help Australia
ScottMorrisonMP guess you've got a choice to make, but if course you won't. LNPfail
Spy?
She’s gotta go!
Qldaah Only a matter of time before she’s booted out Going to be fun watching MorrisScum defend the indefensible
LNP trying to one-up Labor again. Not satisfied with just taking money from the Chinese Communist Party they’ve gone one better and taken members too
She needs to be removed from our Australian parliament.
Resign immediately
Righto. Fk border protection. LiberalAus are a risk to national security.
That seat she holds should be investigated even the person running against her on the labor side should be investigated too 🤔 how much influence does the Chinese have in Australia politics.
And that she’s a serial liar...
it's more than offensive she's in such a powerful position that they are supporting her
This demonstrates the failure of the Liberal machine to do a proper background check.
Goodbye Gladys.
Gladys ffs! What is with Chinese ppl adopting anglo names? Are they ashamed of their real names or do they make the racist assumption that ppl won't be able to pronounce them?
Under our Constitution, sec 41 I believe, anyone beholden to a foreign power is not suitable for election, or to hold a seat in parliament.
Chinese Communist Party spy Gladys Liu, a member of the LNP's Morrison government, a sitting member in our Australian Parliament. How can this be? auspol
This is but the tip of a very large iceberg, IMO. Unlike the Antarctic 'bergs', this is one that keeps growing.
Amazingly, a member of Chinese Communist Party becomes a member of Australian Parliament
This is disgusting, where is the grinning prick now.
abcnews SBSNews Resigned or sacked! No excuse for a liar in the parliament.
GladysLiu must be made to step down just as samdastyari had to. This is, in fact, way worse than anything Sam did. I wonder if the LNP will apply the same rules to their own party as they do to Labor. auspol LNPfail
Add Gladys Liu to the list of LYING grubby politicians
Well, to be fair, everything attached in any way to any part of the Chinese State is also, by definition, tied to the CCP and the political agenda of that newly minted dictator for life, Xi. A security assessment has no doubt been carried out and if the PM sticks with her, ok.
These are the red flags that ASIO raised over GladysLiuMP. And the ones that ScottMorrisonMP has clearly ignored.
I want to know . Who were the geniuses that preselected this woman for this seat without doing a thorough background check.
Resign
Seriously?! Why are these players in position to dictate policy/laws/funding etc? She needs to go.
Perhaps those born overseas should not be allowed to sit in our parliament? How many foreigners (Penny Wong, Sam Dastyari, Gladys Liu, et al) have proven they are not loyal to Australia and Australian values?
Where f—led
Get rid of her the communist filth
deniseshrivell ZaiJian Gladys
Resign. ladysglue
Moreison has to fire her as he excoriated, correctly, Sam Dastyari. Listen to his words.
Gladys can stay but samdastyari was a double agent
Must go. The Australian people have been hoodwinked by this inept Federal Government again.
She needs to resign immediately.
Her political view violates Liberal Party and Australian 'Free Navigation' policy, either resign or being sacked by liberal
“Immigration Minister Peter Dutton calls Labor senator Sam Dastyari a 'double agent' and says he must resign from the Senate.”
Kick her out traitor
Thus how are we to be absolutely guaranteed that she is still not a security risk and a propaganda agent. No.mater what she does there will always be that question. And if she has changed then why haven't we seen a much forthright stand by her on Hong Kong.
deniseshrivell But hey those AEC purple Chinese language posters outside polling booths were not propaganda - YEAH RIGHT
Resign or sack her. Was good enough for Dastyari.
Like every other dirty liberal, she wont apologise or resign or show regret. She will dig her self-entitled heels in. Morrison wont sack her. In 3 months time she will still be sitting there mooching off the taxpayer while taking orders from Beijing.
She should cut ties with all her former Chinese organisations most definitely
why not say that right from the start.
let her confess.
Bye bye
deniseshrivell So much for tough border security- what did Dutton do to protect us all from this bloody schemozzle
SHE SHOULD RESIGN immediately!!!!!!!!
ScottMorrisonMP How good is having a spy on your backbench!
Wtf is this traitor still walking around parliment for? Is there any law to protect our nation from people like her?
VickieLouise7 So the LNP has communists in their ranks? Interesting given they accuse Labor and the Greens of just that.
The china way....lie and deny until it’s so damn obvious you can’t do it anymore.
WTF
Kick her OUT she is not fit to be in any decision process shame on those who voted for this evil scum
Reds have come out from under the Bed, and are now in Parliament for the LNP. How times have changed.
She has to resign.
As well as a homophobe.
How good are Chinese spies. Much better than Australian spies in China. They stand out like a sore thumb.
He’s not a good judge of character is he?
Yep .. as dinky die as an Aussie Loo 🚽
How good is Gladys Liu ScottMorrisonMP auspol
If ScottMorrisonMP we’re partially fairdinkum he would be requesting the resignation of Ms. Liu.
it takes a lot of tongue twisting to get her to confess
Millions of CCP loyalists are infiltrating all western democratic countries, from flooding SM, universities, housing to owning major shares in large corporations. CCP Goal: To destablize and destroy US and allies. StayWoke
She is abandoned by the people from her birthplace.
Looks like Kroger , in his rush to capture the Chinese vote, didn’t do his due diligence.
How good is Scott Morrison?
I think it’s time to sack her for those ties, they’ve sacked other politicians for far less
