Parliament because there are legitimate doubts
whether she owes "allegiance, obedience, or
adherence to a foreign power." These words are taken
from Section 44 of the Constitution.
Many of our federal politicians have been disqualified
from Parliament because they have turned out to be
citizens from another country. The question of allegiance
to a foreign power is a far weightier and more
crucial reason for disqualification.
Parliament must grapple with Gladys Liu's case.
There is enough evidence to indicate she may owe allegiance
to a foreign power. Parliament needs to refer her to the
High Court where the claims can be tested.
Otherwise a dark cloud will continue to hang over her
as long as she sits in the House of Representatives.
A dark cloud will also overshadow the Liberal Party,
because more and more people are wanting to know why
the Party stuck with Liu when it knew that intelligence
agencies had concerns strong enough to deter a former
Prime Minister (Malcolm Turnbull) from meeting with her
donors.
This case cannot and must not continue to be swept under
the rug. We all realise that the woman is an exceptional
fund raiser for the Liberal Party - but the question needs
to be asked - at what cost to our nation?
