Foxy et al,

Given the intrusive nature of the communist chinese regime into the lives of its citizens both domestically and abroad, the chances of any one of any competence emerging from China free of any connections to the regime is close to zero.

Given the nefarious pasts of a large chunk of Labor MPs and the vast chunks of illicit donations it is wildy hypocritical and a little racist for left whingers to sanctimoniously point fingers at liu.

Dear Shadow Minister,

There have been questions raised for some time
about whether Gladys Liu is a fit and proper person
to be in the Australian parliament.

As many have pointed out this is a test for Scott
Morrison. Sam Dastyari was a test for Bill Shorten's
leadership.

Gladys Liu should be held to the same standard that
Sam Dastyari was. A standard the PM set. Sam Dastyari
took responsibility, and resigned. That was the
right decision in his circumstances.

The PM needs to assure parliament and the Australian people
that Gladys Liu is a fit and proper person to be in
the Australian parliament.

Dear Foxy,

The LNP government supported Liu as a fit and proper person to sit in the house last week in the Senate. It was telecast on the ABC. Mathias Cormann did so in response to the question from Penny Wong. The LNP is now inextricably linked to the affiliations of Gladys Liu. If she goes down they all go down.

Dear Mr Opinion,

Interesting times ahead.

Foxy,

I agree that Liu should be held to the same standard as Sam Dastardly, however, you have failed to demonstrate that she has even vaguely reached the same benchmark.

Sam, standing as representative of the Australian government with a senior representative of the Chinese communist party at a press conference claiming that the Aus government should submit to the illegal Chinese territorial annexation of the South China Sea in return for a $400k "donation" is a pretty hard benchmark to reach.
