Fake pamphlets falsely accusing a former Hong Kong politician and Australian resident, Ted Hui, of being an pro-Israel lawyer willing to “wage war” against Islamic terrorism were allegedly mailed to mosques in Adelaide in an apparent attempt to intimidate him and undermine social cohesion.

The pamphlets, which carry images of Hui and the name and contact details of his Adelaide law firm, have alarmed the Australian government, which will raise the matter with Chinese officials. It is not known who sent the pamphlets.
