Via the ABC:
A Liberal Party donor who developed relationships with Assistant Treasurer Michael Sukkar and MP Gladys Liu engaged in “acts of foreign interference” and activities for Beijing, according to Australia’s domestic spy agency.
The bombshell findings by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) are contained in Melbourne-based Chinese businessman Huifeng “Haha” Liu’s court application to fight the Federal Government to avoid deportation.
The case of Mr Liu, who ingratiated himself with Liberal Party MPs over the past five years, is a rare test of Australia’s opaque strategy to counter alleged Chinese government interference by cancelling visas.
