The Hong Kong-born Victorian MP has continued to resist calls to explain undeclared donations and previous connections with groups tied to the Chinese government in Parliament.
Mr Dastyari expressed sympathy for Ms Liu saying he had tried to contact the member for Chisholm directly. Labor leader Anthony Albanese said Prime Minister Scott Morrison had effectively prevented Ms Liu from providing a"statement to parliament in her own words", by tabling a written statement prepared by the prime minister's office that was issued outside the chamber.But during question time, Mr Morrison labelled the opposition leader's attack weak and lame and said Labor should look to its own ranks.
Ms Liu is also double-checking donations she had helped raise for the party, according to federal government frontbencher Stuart Robert.It comes as The New Daily reports Ms Liu was linked to a $105,000 donation to the Liberal Party for a dinner with then-Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that never happened.In her previous statement, Ms Liu confirmed past ties to an organisation linked to China's foreign influence operations.
Shit I thought they got confused and put up a picture of Rowan Atkinson
One of the few times I've agreed with him.
Why do we continue to seek advice from politicians who have been sacked because of wrongdoing? Amazing. Does someone value their views?
And say she did, do you really think, given Albo's recent cave on every 'policy' the ALP ever put to us, that we'd elect an ALP lackey. Bugger all chance Sam.
Shanghai Sam just go Shanghai. Arh, please bring Guangzhou Bob and Beijing Kevin too.
What do you mean “her past links?”. Better delve deeper, she has to go.
Well Sam resigned so its only fair that Quandong Gladys should aswell
Why is it that a Labor member will go after a week of controversy but anyone from the LNP holds out for weeks and weeks until they become the only news and on the nose?
Shifty Sam at home on Q&A
Until evidence rises to the surface, butt out of this Sam
Surely this is a joke.... Shanghai Sam out of everyone saying this 😂
Sino Sam, giving advice?
Shanghai Sam, just go away and do us all a favour!

'Nearly died of shock': Katter says Gladys Liu needs to explain China links after awkward momentBob Katter rushed to sit with the Liberals and Nationals during a vote in question time, then he realised who he sat next to. CroweDM who farted? CroweDM In this society it is likely deemed 'racist' or 'misogynist' to call out Liu who has ties to a Communist party.But it isn't. It's a right to not have traitors infiltrate our ranks. Speaking of, jacindaarden, weren't you president of the 'International Union of Socialist Youth'? CroweDM I would feel same way if he sat next to me
