According to the Australian newspaper, Prime Minister Tam Po (Malcolm Turnbull) admitted today that goverment is "struggling" for a seat in Nylon (Bennelong), a new state. "our focus is on winning, but polls bite very hard," he said. We are struggling for a seat in this nylon. "
, Unionparty government had previously made "against China" remarks about Labour`s Dunson (Sam Dastyari) accepting Chinese political donations. Helen Sham-Ho, Australia`s first Chinese-born MP, said the Liberal Party might be affected by Saturday`s by-election.
Mr Tan said Labour had accused the goverment of "desperate and ridiculous" dissemination of China-fearing remarks, noting that its daughter-in-law was Chinese.
He said it would be hard to imagine modern Australia if it lost 1 million of its Chinese population. Australia is the most successful multicultural society in the world. Our ties with China are very strong and are becoming stronger over time. Fundamentally, this is based on connections between people and between families. "
Tan Po also mentioned that his Chinese-born daughter-in-law, Wang Yiwen (Yvonne Wang), said that his granddaughter was one of the millions of Chinese Australians, and that the accusation that he was afraid of China was simply "ridiculous". "it proves how desperate [the Labour Party is] is," he said.
Asked what goverment plans to do if Liberal candidate Alexander (John Alexander) loses, Tan said the focus of the goverment is to win. "if we vote for Labour in this nylon, the public will pay a high price, because if the Labour Party wins this nylon seat, then Sheldon (Bill Shorten) will be very close to the Prime Minister. We can`t afford the price of Schotton: higher taxes, less investment, lower employment, and the business war he once touted, the people of Australia can`t afford the risk. "
