Sky News contributor Andrew Clennell says the latest accusations regarding Gladys Liu are “guilt by association rather than a smoking gun". It comes after The Sydney Morning Herald reported Ms Liu was allegedly involved in securing access to the federal government for a company endorsed by the Chinese Communist Party.
That company, Brighsun, was reported by the Nine newspaper to have alleged links to a major organised crime probe. Mr Clennell said journalists continuing to dig around the issue of Ms Liu's alleged links to China is “what happens” when the Coalition only has a two-seat majority. “Every individual MP’s problems or faults suddenly become larger than life,” he said. “They become a much larger deal than they ordinarily would be.

Australia has a 'real problem' with 'hardened terrorists' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says the London Bridge terror “atrocity” has shown lawmakers that “hardened terrorists” can’t just be “released back into the community” after their jail term has finished.\n\nIt follows recent comments by Jeremy Corbyn saying convicted terrorists should 'not necessarily' automatically serve their full prison sentences. \n\nThe Labour leader's remarks came in the wake of Friday's London Bridge terror attack, which left two people dead. \n\nThe perpetrator - Usman Khan - was a former prisoner - convicted of plotting to bomb the London Stock Exchange and had been freed from jail for almost a year when the attack took place.\n\nThe Sky News host said she has been “highly critical” of the effectiveness of deradicalisation programs for convicted terrorists. \n\nMs Credlin noted the “increasing evidence” showing few released terrorists “really repent of their crimes or drop the evil ideology behind them”. \n\n“So, what are we going to do about hardened terrorists, who still believe in death to the infidel, once their sentences are over?” Ms Credlin said. \n\n“So far the only thing we know that works is to keep them locked up”.\n\nImage: Getty
