Opposition ads say Chisholm MP ‘spread fake news on Chinese messaging apps’ and had to return $300,000 in donations over national security concerns
“They go after Gladys Liu because she’s Chinese,” he said.Morrison again pointed to prior criticism of Labor deputy leader Richard Marles, who provided the Chinese embassy in Canberra with an advance copy of a speech he was to give to the Beijing Foreign Studies University in 2019.his actions were a “courtesy” and that none of his speech was changed after it was provided to Chinese officials.
“A number of these issues were raised a few years ago in parliament and I can remember my then-counterpart, Senator [Mathias] Cormann, accusing me and others of attacking Ms Liu because of her ethnic heritage, which is not the case,” Wong said. Wong, Labor’s shadow foreign minister, has called the Coalition’s actions around the Solomons-China security pact “the worst Australian foreign policy blunder in the Pacific since the end of world war two”. She linked the criticisms of the Labor ad to mounting pressure on the Coalition.“Let’s not fall for the increasingly shrill and desperate attacks from the other side. On Mr Morrison’s watch,” Wong said.
On the ABC’s Insiders program, shadow treasurer Jim Chalmers said Australia had to “earn the friendship” of Pacific neighbours by being “meaningful partners” on the climate crisis and development assistance. When asked by host David Speers if that meant Labor would pledge greater amounts of foreign aid than the Coalition currently, Chalmers did not rule it out.
