Hi Riely,

A former Labor MP Ernest Wong, who was found by
ICAC to have engaged in corrupt conduct over
Chinese donations has flatly denied that he is
the MP at the centre of the ASIO claim.

I guess there's going to be quite a few denials.
That's why ASIO should make the name known.

I imagine that there will be cries of "racism" if this traitor is not named and prosecuted. This week a Chinaman was jailed on a charge of "foreign influence", so why should this traitor get away with it, they might ask. Of course,the traitor being shielded by ASIO and the political class might be another Chinaman.

The speculation is not going away; it will get worse and louder if the dolts in Canberra don't do the right thing and show that they have some concern about foreign countries spying, and locals helping them out.

Could it be that other politicians, past and present, have been at it, and it's getting a bit close to the bone?

Just asking.

Hi Foxy,

As with any suspected crime, due process needs to be followed. Material needs to be forwarded to the prosecutors to determine if there is a case to answer. I've never thought of treason as a trivial misdemeanor.

-Someone who left Parliament in 2018, as long as it was before JUNE 2018, is possible.

See "In June 2018, the Australian Parliament passed legislation, which criminalises foreign interference and strengthens our ability to successfully prosecute acts of espionage National Security Legislation Amendment (Espionage and Foreign Interference) Act 2018."

From what I can gather it appears that ASIO Boss
Mike Burgess wanted to be heard and draw attention
to the fact of what really goes on amongst some
MPs . He is intent on warning people as to whom
to trust and to be careful with the type of
information they divulge to others. Apparently he
wrote to MPs in the past and was ignored. This time
he got their attention. He achieved what he set out
to do.

MPs should take heed and be warned about who they can
trust.

I agree that naming the person should now be done -
and our laws should come into play, to discourage
this sort of behaviour from ever happening again.

I agree with Fester, this behaviour cannot be taken
lightly.

Hi Maverick,
