Author Clive Hamilton says it’s “lamentable” that in recent years all political leaders on both sides have “tiptoed” around the Communist Party of China, even when it “engages in egregious acts”.
In an interview with Sky News host Andrew Bolt on Tuesday night, Liberal MP Gladys Liu – who has been scrutinised over alleged links to the CPC – denied being a mouthpiece for the party but refused to condemn Beijing's actions in the South China Sea or criticise President Xi Jinping. Mr Hamilton said “the most significant thing” in the interview was not what Ms Lieu said, but what she didn’t or couldn’t say.
CliveCHamilton Shes got a nice coat on where did she get that from
CliveCHamilton Guilty
CliveCHamilton It is reasonable to image Liu was and maybe still IS playing the 'middlewoman' role to harbour elites of Liberals to connect with Chinese Communist Party.
CliveCHamilton Not what she couldn’t say! It was what she wouldn’t say! Swearing allegiance too Australia 🇦🇺, twice! With a forked tongue 👅
CliveCHamilton Do we have a spy in government?
CliveCHamilton Another case of don’t get favors 💰 from CCP - China. You will ultimately loose all credibility & respect.

Coalition ‘exposed’ after Liu communist connections | Sky News AustraliaSky 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.\n\nMs 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.\n\nWeighing 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”.\n\nMr Dastyari resigned from the Senate in 2017 over his dealings with a controversial Chinese businessman.\n\n“When you’re firing off blows, you have to be careful you’re not labelled in the glare of hypocrisy when some of these issues fall back on your own party,” Mr Houghton told Peta Credlin.\n\nWhile Mr Houghton said it would be “a mistake to conflate the two issues” of Mr Dastyari’s behaviour and Ms Liu alleged connections, he noted that the Liberal MP’s predicament is “not a trivial matter”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Houghtontweets But this hypocrite doesn’t mind doing so ... scumo ScottMorrisonMP biggest hypocrite Australia has ever had!!

Disgusting.
