The Opposition Leader has been advised to soften his stance on Beijing after new data revealed Chinese-Australian voters abandoned the Liberal Party at the Federal Election for its hardline anti-China rhetoric.
, comes as recent Australian Bureau of Statistics census data overlaid with election results found the party suffered above average swings against it in electorates with high numbers of Chinese-Australian voters.
The review - led by former Liberal Party director Brian Loughnane and opposition frontbencher Jane Hume - will also include responses to the success of teal independents as well as the Coalition's climate change policies. Post-polling suggested the Morrison government's anti-China rhetoric alienated voters of Chinese-Australian voters who would otherwise preference the Coalition on economic matters.
In the seat of Bennelong, a 13 per cent swing against the Liberal Party was recorded in polling booths in Eastwood, where 38 per cent of residents have Chinese heritage.
