CANBERRA, Feb 21 — Exposing China’s activities was the “key purpose” of Australia’s foreign interference laws, but the scheme has failed to do this, former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull, who introduced the laws, said on Tuesday.
Turnbull told a parliamentary committee the “key purpose” of a foreign interest register was to disclose the links the Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Work Department had formed in Australia. The law was aimed at authoritarian states and not Australia’s security allies, and geopolitical tensions had worsened since it was introduced, he added.
