“I don’t want there to be any concerns about this, and in the interests of full transparency, I’ve contacted the #AEC and the Department of Parliamentary Services and given them the details that I gave to #TheAge yesterday about my #relationship with those #volunteers and with Mr #JiJianmin I’ve said, look, if you’ve got any concerns, please investigate.”

“[They’re] people who attended a dinner where a community leader [JiJianmin] said that he supported me and he supported my #values, and thought that I’ve been very #supportive of the community in recent years, and for that reason he thought people should #Support me now. I’m grateful for the support the Chinese Australians have given me in the last three years.”

I’ve got the nod from the #CCP.

“The #ASIO chief, #MikeBurgess, has previously said #Palestinians with visas had “gone through the #process” and “part of the process is, where criteria are hit, they’re referred to my organisation and ASIO does its thing”.”

Day 18 cont

“#DanielJones, who has served as a bodyguard to #FarRight figure #AviYemini, said on #SocialMedia on Wednesday that he had walked unchallenged into the hotel lobby before he confronted #Albanese and asked him questions about #immigration.

“Thomas was 13 when the Joint Counter #Terrorism Team (#JCTT), which comprises Australian federal police, #VictoriaPolice and #ASIO members, started investigating him as part of an undercover operation.

“The Australian government’s “hero” homecoming for #JulianAssange was political “grandstanding” and minimises legitimate concerns about the impact of his activities with #WikiLeaks, according to a former senior bureaucrat and Asio chief who served as ambassador to the United States.”
