There's no question that Gladys Liu must answer to
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?

Once without a doubt, the Liberal coalition would be in the lead calling for a full investigation of this woman
Now twisted super conservatives are her support
In multiple threads about concerns with China, we saw real fears they may even invade
Yet the not my side mob are blind to this truth, she may very well be a spy
Fact, both sides ran people with Chinese/Taiwanese back grounds in her electorate
Surely proving at least there the Chinese have influence
Had Labor won? had this been about the ALP member? we would be seeing a far different Scomo

Labourites never worried about Bob Carr with all his Chinese connections. Really are hypocrites.

runner,

Prof. Carr is known to the Chinese Australian community
since his days as Premier of NSW and later as Australia's
Foreign Minister. However, the difference between him
and Gladys Liu is that Independent Chinese Australian
organisations have never lobbied Prof. Carr on behalf of
China or the Chinese Communist Party. And Prof. Carr did
not have the connections that Gladys Liu obviously did.
You need to get your facts straight.

One of the big questions hanging over the future of
Australian trade and investment with China is - whether
it is possible to engage more closely with Beijing
while ensuring national security, sovereignty and
self-respect.

In the Howard years the question was set to one side in
the belief that Australia did not need to choose between
prosperity and security.

This cosy assumption was ruptured once Xi Jinping came
to power in 2013 and made it clear that for China at least,
trade, investment, and security came bolted together.

Hence we need to ask questions concerning the Gladys Liu
appointment to our Parliament.

Runner what connection? you think his wife was Chinese? do you in fact think
Here right now, we see my statement above confirmed, a 1970,s Liberal would be in boots and all, requiring her to be investigated
Some are so blindly loyal, to one side of politics truth is abandoned
I charge runner with that crime
If patriotism and love of country are secondary to one side of politics this country is doomed

Senior Liberals were warned against preselecting Gladys Liu for the seat of Chisholm before this year’s federal election because there were concerns about her links to the Chinese Communist Party. They were told it would not be wise for the Liberal Party to preselect her.

Liu has admitted to previous associations with three groups with links to China’s covert political influence operations.
