Australian Values Alliance 14/12/2017
The Australian Values Alliance is reassured
to hear the Prime Minister Mr. Turnbull's "Australian people stand
up" speech, which expressed the Federal government's dauntlessness against
the aggressive intimidation of the Chinese Communist government, and which
reaffirmed Australia's resolve to resist a foreign dictatorship infiltrating
and interfering with Australia through methods that include the exportation of
corruption, the exportation of terror, the exportation of constraining free
speech and persecution of human rights.
According to media reports, on 6 December,
spokespersons for the Chinese Communist government's Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and its Embassy to Australia
have been exceptionally rude and vicious in their illogical condemnations and
fearmongering in response to Australia Australia
As an organisation of large number of
members and supporters with ethnic Chinese backgrounds, the Australian Values
Alliance (AVA, also known as Embrace Australian Values Alliance, or EAVA)
resolutely oppose and condemn the accusations brought forward by the Chinese
Communist government's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its representative
embassy, and we strongly demand that these speeches be retracted.
In reality, many supporters and members of
The Australian Values Alliance have spoken out multiple times about their
personal experiences, which shows that some foreign dictatorship forces such as
the Chinese Communist Party have for many years continued its Cold War tactics
in Australia, through the exportation of corruption, the exportation of terror,
the exportation of constraining free speech and persecution of human rights.
These have included directly interfering withAustralian elections, intimidating
candidates, fracturing and manipulating Australian community groups,
intimidating or even directly persecuting Australian residents of Chinese
descent or their relatives in China for speaking out with political views that
do not align with its own, intimidating Australian scholars and media that
speak frankly, intimidating and interfering with the normal teaching and
operations of Australian tertiary and other educational institutions, using
money, power or sex to bribe or entrap Australian politicians and subsequently
control them, et cetera.
Ethnically Chinese members of The
Australian Values Alliance would be very happy to discuss and cross-examine
these facts with the Chinese Communist government’s Ambassador to Australia
The majority of ethnic Chinese residents in
Australia have chosen to
settle here because we are able to enjoy a democratic way of life that is free
from terror.We support Australia
Otherwise, it would be like letting a virus
multiply. Australia China Australia
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told
Australians to stand up. It was extremely necessary and timely. For those who
are accustomed to bullying the weak and fearing the strong; and keeps claiming
that benefits of trade and business is the priority when it’s not strong
enough; once it becomes rich, then use its face of an authoritarian country to
bully others without fear and hesitation. When dealing with this kind of
country, Australians have no choice but to stand up by firmly saying No.
To strengthen the security of this country
and to reduce foreign infiltration and interference, the Australian Values
Alliance makes recommendations to the Federal Government and Parliament as
follows:
Firstly, the legislative control of foreign
pressure:
1.
To require all companies, academic institutions,
schools and other organisations registered and operating in Australia to
promptly report to the designated Australian government agencies (such as the
Australian Security Intelligence Organisation or Department of Foreign Affairs
and Trade) when pressured by foreign governments or on behalf of foreign
interests for reasons involving censorship or differing political opinion.
Heavy penalties will be enforced in the case that contrary practices are brought
to light.
2.
The department responsible for receiving and
handling the aforementioned reports will be responsible for organising archival
reports and disseminating relevant information to the public on a regular
basis, as well as submitting reports to the federal parliament to take the
appropriate measures.
For example, if a foreign authoritarian force
were to place pressure on a tertiary institution due to disapproval of the
subject matter of a proposed conference or seminar to be held at the said institution,
the institution is responsible for following appropriate procedures to report
this to the Australian government rather than deflecting this responsibility to
the event host. Penalties will be enforced where the institution fails to
fulfil its duty of filing this report.
Secondly:
implement the legislation of "fair reciprocity", which should
include:
1.
Australian government should apply the same
restrictions to the country whose government restricts the freedom of movement
of the Australian embassy's staff as well as their freedom of having normal
interaction with the local residents;
2.
In countries where Australian media and
publications are restricted, Australian government should in turn apply the
same restrictions to that country's media and publications of its government
background.
3.
In countries where Australian companies or
merchants are revenged or oppressed for censorship or political reasons in that
country, the Australian government should apply the same reciprocal
restrictions to that country's state owned or powerful officials owned
companies in Australia
For example, if the publisher of Dr Clive
Hamilton's book Silent Invasion received backlash from its country's government
officials, in response to this, the Australian government should restrict the
operation of that country's state owned companies in Australia
Emerged in 2016,

which bound us together as a nation.We are committed to embrace freedom and
dignity of individuals, freedom of religion, commitment to the rule of law,
