Security Agencies: Security Concerns and Michael Kroger

security agencies: The sustained attack on the Coalition over the Hong Kong-born member for Chisholm came as the former president of the Victorian Liberal party, Michael Kroger, rejected suggestions the party had been warned by security agencies that it would be unwise for her to run for parliament, according to The Guardian. No one has ever raised with me any security concerns about Gladys, Kroger, who oversaw Liu's preselection, told Guardian Australia. As Labor targeted the government for a second day over Liu's links to various Chinese groups, Morrison accused Labor of smearing the Chinese Australian diaspora by asking questions about her background, while refusing to reveal whether the government ever received any security advice about her suitability for parliament. I've never met anyone from Asio in my life. Morrison accused Labor of mudslinging, and suggested the opposition was casting a smear on Chinese Australians. In question time on Thursday, Labor attempted to pressure Morrison over Liu's membership of Chinese organisations linked to the Communist party, and asked the prime minister to clarify whether any security advice had been provided.
