PM ‘played the race card’ in defence of Liu | Sky News AustraliaNational Political Editor for The Herald Sun, James Campbell says “there’s no doubt” that Prime Minister Scott Morrison “played the race card” in his defence of Liberal MP Gladys Liu.\n\nMr Morrison accused Labor of leading a “grubby smear” against the Hong Kong-born MP and suggested they were also casting a smear on all Chinese Australians. \n\nIn a development in the saga, The Herald Sun has reported on Thursday that Liberal MP Gladys Liu failed to declare almost $40,000 in a donation to the Liberal Party’s Victorian division three years ago, which is a breach of disclosure laws.\n\nThe embattled Liberal MP is under pressure to resign following revelations she was a member of three organisations linked to the Chinese Communist Party.\n\nSpeaking to Sky News, Mr Campbell said the article also details another organisation she hasn’t listed as being associated with, but he said she did mention it in an interview shortly after being elected. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n J_C_Campbell theheraldsun Morrison is a hostile foreign entity who should be arrested by the federal police. He allows $60 billion in gas to be stolen every year, with zero tax. Jail awaits this traitor. If the police dont arrest him on facilitating money laundering, they themselves should be arreated. J_C_Campbell theheraldsun J_C_Campbell theheraldsun The stench of desperation, for a group who claims to be compassionate, inclusive, diverse and respectful, labor sure is leaving a trail of destruction across the country. Seems like this is nothing more than a personal attack because she didn’t say what you wanted to hear!
