Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has said it is ‘absurd’ how he has been labeled ‘China phobic’ by his opposition as Sydney prepares to hold an important by-election.
Turnbull has defended himself after Australian Labor Party (ALP) leader Bill Shorten said he had ‘China phobia’ and ALP candidate in the Bennelong by-election, Kristina Keneally, said the PM was fueling suspicions of Asian Australians.
