Expert labels MP’s trip to Taiwan as ‘pointless’

Curtin University Political Analyst Joe Siracusa says the Australian parliamentarian trip to Taiwan is “pointless”.

“I can’t imagine what they’re going to try to prove,” Mr Siracusa said.

“I don’t see why they’re doing this, and it doesn’t help Penny Wong or the government of the day to try to put these things on an even keel.

“There’s more at stake here than just Taiwan.”
