How a low-profile NSW MP became embroiled in an ASIO investigation

do not suggest the allegations that Mr Moselmane or his office have been covertly influenced by Beijing are true, simply that they are being investigated.Still, the revelations are political dynamite for the Australian Labor Party. The party was warned in 2017 by then ASIO chief Duncan Lewis that both Labor and the Coalition were being targeted by the UFWD as part of its efforts to covertly influence Australian politics.

"He had spoken out so vociferously in support of Beijing policies, and controversial Beijing policies, in stark contrast with ALP national policy," Fergus says.Mr Moselmane was born in 1965 in Lebanon, arriving in Australia as a 12-year-old with 10 siblings. He trained as a solicitor but was quickly drawn to politics, elected to Rockdale Council in Sydney’s south as a 30-year-old.

In an interview with a Chinese news website in mid-2019, Mr Moselmane gushed about "the revolution led by the Chinese Communist Party" under Mao Zedong and the controversial Belt and Road infrastructure project championed by President Xi Jinping."Today, China is the engine of world economic growth and the world's superpower. It is highly respected by the region and the international community," he said.

In late 2019, Mr Moselmane was again making headlines, with reporting on parliamentary disclosure records showing his transport and hospitality costs were often met by Chinese government officials or agencies during the nine privately-funded trips Mr Moselmane took to China since entering Parliament in 2009.after he praised China's "unswerving leadership" in handling the coronavirus crisis on his personal website.

The comments led former Rudd government minister Stephen Conroy to describe Mr Moselmane as an "absolute disgrace to the Labor Party" and said it was "astonishing he's still in Parliament".

Ageinvestigates jttozer We have a really serious serious problem with the CCP in Australia and when we go to put those little x's in the ballot form these are the choices we have A riddled corrupt labor or a riddled corrupt liberal

Ageinvestigates jttozer Are there clean politicians in the world?

Ageinvestigates jttozer Quite remarkable that Nine journalists have an in-depth feature on Moselmane ready to run as soon as he is raided by ASIO. Media also tipped off for photos of raid on his house. How much co-operation has there been between journalists & security services nickmackenzie jttozer?

Ageinvestigates jttozer that's exactly WHY, low profile, hoping no one will notice.

Ageinvestigates jttozer am utterly speechless after reading this article

Ageinvestigates jttozer another example of poor judgement?

Ageinvestigates jttozer Labor stacks branches with minorities by funding their ethnic lobby groups. As has been made painfully obvious in recent years multiculturalism is a horrendous failure and ethnic lobbyists simply aren't loyal to Australia.

Ageinvestigates jttozer If corruption is accepted in Lebanon , China or any other dump its fine for Australia. That's the mentality , that's what we have welcomed into Australian politics.

Ageinvestigates jttozer How does the Liberal party continue to get away from any independent scrutiny from the media?

The NSW & Victorian Labor links to China are a real concern. Interesting that ASIO has not looked to the government's front bench.
