Reports have alleged that the Conservative MP, an outspoken critic of Beijing, was targeted by the Chinese government.
Morrison said a critical memo about Chinese efforts to attempt to target MPs did come across his desk in August, 2021. He said a previous note from CSIS resulted in a briefing to Chong. That briefing was a defensive briefing, which Chong has said didn’t inform him he was being specifically targeted or that there was any threat to his family.“Something disturbing came to light and the relevant authorities in our system took action as they deemed best,” he said.
“I am absolutely astounded and disturbed by your testimony and your singular refusal to accept responsibility as the national security and intelligence adviser to the prime minister,” he said. “It seems that people fail upward in this government as long as they remain loyal to the prime minister.”
