Premier Gladys Berejiklian was asked if she is a target for Chinese intelligence. The Premier deflected the question by asserting her highest level security clearance:
"Oh my goodness,'' she said."I say that that's complete rubbish. As the Premier of state, I pass security clearances that nobody else has to pass and I have access to information which assures me, which gives me assurance that what I need to be aware of and I always adhere to."
However, despite the highest level security briefings Berejikllian pursued Communist Party China United Front links to help her party and her own re-election:

And then there is the ongoing matter of Zhu Minshen. As readers might recall the granting of that license coincided with Zhu and his Top Group donating $44275 to the the NSW Liberals.

In 2008 "ASIO shat themselves" over Zhu Minshen; by 2015 he was granted a license to influence Australia's legal establishment, but ASIO ,state and Commonwealth attorneys general seem unconcerned
by Ganesh Sahathevan
Zhu Minshen & PM Morrison
In his book Silent Invasion Professor Clive Hamilton says:
In 2008 Zhu Minshen helped organise a 30,000 strong demonstration by Chinese students at the Canberra (2008 Beijing Olympic) torch relay, many of them brandishing Chinese flags.
This was clearly an open challenge to the authority , and in public defiance of, the AFP's directive to Chinese government security that they were not to be involved in the torch relay.
According to Hamilton the Australian Security And Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) reacted in shock.As Hamilton put it:
"ASIO shat themselves".
Despite this open defiance of the law, in 2015 Zhu obtained, via his Top Education Group Ltd the first licence to issue law degrees granted a private company. That license also granted him entry into Australia's legal establishment, allowing him to exercise powers under Australian laws to determine who from his college may or may not be admitted to practise.

AG NSW Speakman and senior judicial officers at the LPAB ignored the fact that Zhu Minshen undermined an Australian Federal Police directive
by Ganesh Sahathevan
France 24 reported in 2008:
To minimize the risk of disruption during the torch relay in Canberra, the Australian government has decided not to allow Chinese security in the Olympic torch's path.
In his 2018 book "Silent Invasion" Professor Clive Hamilton reports that Top Education Group's Zhu Minshen organised students , including students from his Top Education Institute to protest against Tibetans at the 2008 rally , which counted towards the Top students’ assessment. Zhu’s Top Institution is “perhaps the only accredited degree program in Australia that counts agitating for a foreign power towards its qualifications.”
Hamilton provides details of Zhu's Communist Party China antecedents and his organisation of the 30,000 strong demonstration by Chinese students at the Canberra torch relay, many of them brandishing Chinese flags.

Despite this open defiance of the law that they are meant to defend and uphold the Attorney General NSW Mark Speakman and the other senior judicial officers at the LPAB determined that an exception should be made to allow Zhu to operate the "first and only" law school in Australia that is not part of a university.

"The fishy smell around Zhu Minshen's Top Education Institute": Clive Hamilton's "Silent Invasion" raises questions for NSW AG Mark Speakman & the LPAB
by Ganesh Sahathevan
NSW Libs received donations of $44,275 from TOP Education Grosup
NSW Libs received donations of $44,275 from TOP Education Grosup
all details in the LPAB Annual Reports
In "Silent Invasion" Professor Clive Hamilton describes how Zhu Minshen and his Top Education Institute(and other Chinese entities) interfere in Australian politics.The section on Zhu and Top begins :
"Few people noticed, but the fishy smell around Zhu Minshen's Top Education Institute was noticeable a few years before it began wafting from the front pages of the newspaper (such as the AFR in 2013)".
In 2012 the NSW Legal Profession Admission Board , a statutory body chaired by the Chief Justice NSW and under the purview of the Attorney General NSW ,began the process that led to Zhu and his Top Group being granted the "first and only" license to issue law degrees granted a private company that is not a university.
The notoriety that Zhu and Top Group had gained since 2013,and especially in 2016 seems to have been ignored in the process of evaluating Zhu's application, despite the very high standards of probity the LPAB ,the Chief Justice and the AG profess for anyone seeking admission to practice in NSW.
In comparison Hamilton reports that in 2013 the then Labor Minister for Higher Education, Kim Carr, rejected Zhu and Top's application for access to a streamlined visa program on the grounds that Top's students were coming to Australia to work, not study.
Additionally Zhu has been granted the privileges of being part of the NSW and Australian legal establishment despite Zhu's part in organizing what Hamilton describes as "menacing and at times violent mass demonstrations by foreign students" in 2008.
This elevation is in clear breach of the LPAB, the Chief Justice and the AG's own standards of behavior expected of anyone seeking admission to the legal profession in NSW and Australia; under those standards even persistent complaints via email are regarded threatening and intimidating. The AG himself has deemed that merely questioning his person about entities under his purview is behavior that is threatening and intimidatory.
That Speakmnan was not AG when Zhu and Top were first granted their LPAB approvals is irrelevant for the approvals are reviewed at regular intervals; a recent review ( which was kept confidential) seems to have had an impact on Top's share price.
Hamilton has simply compiled what is in the public domain.The AG and his officers on the other hand remain determined to remain silent on even their failure to disclose fully the LPAB's dealings with Zhu and Top Group in the LPAB's annual reports which the AG tables in parliament.
