Gotta love Penny Wong. When a journalist in Alice Springs asked her whether Labor’s attack ads against Gladys Liu vilified Chinese-Australians, she gently responded, “You’re asking me that question”?
(Explanatory note: Penny Wong is now a Labor Senator for South Australia, Leader of the Government in the Senate and Minister for Foreign Affairs. She was born in Malaysia to a Chinese-Malaysian father and a British-Australian mother. She came to Australia aged 8. The above exchange happened during the Federal Election Campaign.)
