Australia is 'almost obliged to give protection' to self-proclaimed spy Wang Liqiang | Sky News AustraliaFormer Labor Advisor Darrin Barnett says the government is “almost obliged to give protection” to self-proclaimed spy Wang Liqiang, despite the Daily Telegraph revealing he may have only been engaged in low level work, which would be of little use to Australia’s security agencies.\n\nAccording to senior members of the Australian Intelligence community it is “highly dubious” that Wang Liqiang, who claimed he was a high-level Chinese spy during a 60 Minutes interview, was “major player in the espionage space,” according to Sky News host and Daily Telegraph journalist Sharri Markson.\n\nMr Barnett said despite Wang's claims being seemingly debunked, Australia does have a responsibility to not send him back to China. \n\n“It is concerning if someone is using what is essentially a vexatious claim to become an Australian citizen, but we do have a sense of obligation to look after people and their humanitarian concerns,' he said. \n\nImage: Getty
