" The revelations raise further questions about foreign donations linked to ministers with trade and diplomatic responsibilities. Coming amid calls for a ban on foreign money flowing into Australian politics, they will heighten anxiety about the influence of foreign governments in Australian politics and business.  "

This reinforces my view of Bishop as a politician who will do whatever it takes to maintain power. Selling her soul (and the country) to a foreign power does not surprise me at all.

The major parties and even smaller ones get paid for votes as long as they get enough of them so foreign donations should be banned. If the parties don,t agree then maybe the money per votes should be withdrawn until they do.

Both Liberal and Labor got donations from the Chinese.   I think it is totally wrong for any political parties to get money from China.
