As I have already indicated in my answer to the primary question, the Prime Minister does not have any concerns about Ms Liu's suitability to be a member of the parliament. Indeed, Ms Liu is an outstanding Australian. She came here as a migrant and has done exceptionally well. She has worked as a speech pathologist in the Victorian department of education and early childhood. She opened up her own restaurant and worked in that small business. She was president of the Box Hill Chess Club. She was special adviser to the Victorian Premier on Chinese affairs. She was head of development and corporate social responsibility adviser for Canaan Lawyers. She came to Australia as a migrant. She has worked hard. She's done her best. She put herself forward for consideration by the people of Chisholm, and she won the election. (Time expired)
