We are from the
Australian Values Alliance, an Australian Chinese community group that respects
and believes in Australian societal values.
Recently, we were alerted to a series of embarrassing actions carried
out by Chinese citizens or Australian-Chinese citizens in Australia . These acts included assaulting and inflicting
physical violence on pro-Hong Kong democracy demonstrators. These actions may have led the general
Australian population to believe that Australian-Chinese communities are
anti-democratic.
We would like
to declare that the Australian Values Alliance is a pro-democratic Chinese
community group. As we love democratic
freedom and Australian societal values, we are now publicly requesting your
signature support. The following is our
4 point statement:
First, We are
ashamed of the threats to the freedom of speech in Australia and violation of Australian societal values.
Second, The
Chinese groups who acted against Australian societal values and disrespected Hong Kong pro-democracy demonstrators' freedom of speech
do not in any way represent us.
Third, We
request protection for Australian residents' and citizens', especial for those
with Chinese heritage, freedom of expression in assembly and on social media.
Finally, We
request that the Australian government takes effective and immediate measures
to prevent foreign intervention, and, protect national security and Australian
societal values.
