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!!

Labor's pursuit of Liu is 'a little bit xenophobic' | Sky News AustraliaDeputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has accused Labor of being “a little bit xenophobic” in its pursuit of Liberal MP Gladys Liu. \n\nLabor demanded Ms Liu front parliament to clear up questions about her alleged links to the Communist Party of China. \n\nThe Member for Chisholm told Sky News on Tuesday she was never a member of organisations linked to the Chinese communist party, a statement she walked back on a day later. \n\nSpeaking to Sky News host Chris Kenny on Thursday, Mr McCormack admitted Ms Liu’s interview on Sky News was “a little bit clumsy”. \n\n“Perhaps her comments to Andrew Bolt were not well put, but every politician, everybody who has ever appeared in front of a TV has probably said things that were perhaps a little clumsy, she’s a new member of parliament,” he said. \n\nMr Kenny rubbished Mr McCormack’s defence of the Liberal MP, saying her comments “weren’t clumsy, they were 100 per cent incorrect”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia M_McCormackMP uhm, she's probably a spy M_McCormackMP Hope McCormack forgot to.

Gladys Liu created her own 'almighty mess' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Liberal MP Gladys Liu has created an “almighty mess for herself” which has united “some forces on the right and left of politics”.\n\n“This battle unites some forces on the right and left of politics because the right tends to be more worried about Chinese communist infiltration of our country, and the left sees a government with a one seat majority and wants to go for broke,” he said.\n\n“Liu created an almighty mess for herself and the government yesterday when she was forced to reveal that she had been a member of organisations that just the night before, in her interview with Andrew Bolt, she had denied any knowledge of – just how someone could make such a mistake, and why, is unimaginable and remains unexplained.”\n GladysLiuMP Turns out some people just don't like corruption, regardless of the flag they fly. Who'dve thought GladysLiuMP Scott Morrison has double standards when dealing with National Security. I can't see his defence was acceptable. GladysLiuMP This is an issue of national security, not a left or right political issue. And IT IS NOT A RACE ISSUE as the PM has eluded to. How irresponsible of him . Pointing out that Gladys Liu is a victim of domestic violence and has a disability is a crude attempt at deflection.
