We, as members
of the Australian Values Alliance (AVA), condemn Senator Keneally’s recent
meeting with members of the CCP’s United Front organisation.
AVA is an
advocacy NGO aspiring to safeguard and promote Australian core values. Most of
our members are of Chinese origin with a mainland China background.
On 19 October
2021, Senator Keneally posted on social media saying it was great to meet
members of a Chinese Australian association in Cabramatta last week. One of the
individuals she met was Hung Ly, who is also president of the Australian
Council for the Promotion of the Peaceful Reunification of China (ACPPRC). The
ACPPRC is arguably the peak Chinese Communist P arty’s peak
propaganda groupUnited Front organisation in Australia who has made sizeable
donations ed thousands of dollars to the Australian Labor Party.
There is no
secret what the CCP’s “Peaceful Reunification” means. There is no secret in the CCP’s history that
whenever it expands its Iron Curtain, it never intends to respect the universal
values of human rights, democracy and freedom, nor other cultures and
religions, nor international treaties it signed, nor its own rosy promises of “peace”. One only
needs to look at what it has done in China for the past century, in Korea 70
years ago, in Uighur and Tibet in recent decades, and in Hong Kong in recent
years.
Under Xi, the
CCP regime has been more dangerous than ever. He has intensified crackdown of
human rights of the Chinese people, geared up his propaganda machine promoting
fake history, ultra-nationalism, militarism, “Wolf warrior” diplomacy
and ever-increasing efforts to influence politics and societies of the free
world. Now Xi has been ever more provocative in “liberating Taiwan
and reunifying our motherland”, people around the world are worried that if he will do the
unthinkable.
The ACPPRC and
its cronies are exactly the means to such ends. The previous leader of the
ACPPRC, is none other than the proven corrupt CCP lobbyist Huang Xiangmo(黄向墨). In
February 2019, the AVA issued a statement in support of the government's
decision to cancel Huang Xiangmo's visa. (Link:

Regrettably,
Senator Keneally has a history of following the lines of the CCP but not the
core values of the Australians. In a campaign in 2017, Keneally accused the
government of “China phobia” for introducing reforms to espionage and foreign interference
legislation. The almost identical rhetoric we heard from the CCP’s propaganda
media. “They see it as scaremongering. They see the suggestion from the prime
minister that people from Chinese or Asian backgrounds are somehow suspicious
and they don’t like it,” claimed the Senator.
But Madam
Senator, communism is not a race. Intentionally confusing the Chinese ethnicity
and the communist regime is a cheap propaganda trick that the CCP has been
using for decades.
We the
Australian Values Alliance strongly disagree that stopping foreign interference
is scaremongering. The threat and infiltration by the Communist Party is real,
massive, pervasive and well documented. We believe that the Australian public,
including Chinese and Asian communities know the difference between ethnicity
and ideology.
As Former NSW
Premier and current Deputy Leader of Opposition in the Federal Senate, Senator
Keneally is not an insignificant politician. She may also take on an important
role as the next Home Affairs Minister. We question her credentials to hold
such roles to protect Australian interests.
We the
Australian Values Alliance believe that Senator Keneally does not represent the
views and interests of the Chinese Australian Communities and broader Asian
Australian Communities.
We the
Australian Values Alliance welcome and commend former Australia Prime Minister
Tony Abbot’s recent visit to Taiwan and his comments. On 8 October 2021, Mr
Abbot spoke in Taiwan at a national security forum. He condemned Xi as “the new red
emperor” and highlighted the possibility that Xi could start a war
destroying Taiwan’s freedom and democracy and threaten the post WWII peace and orders
of the pacific.
"It’s not
Australia that’s beating drums of war. The only drums we beat are for justice and
freedom – freedom for all people, in China and in Taiwan, to make their own
decisions about their lives and their futures,” Mr Abbott said.
We the AVA
agree with what Mr Abbott says. The Republic of China (Taiwan) is a well-respected,
well-functioning constitutional democracy, which the CCP regime is everything
against. The Taiwanese citizens have the freedom of speech, freedom of worship
and freedom from fear—all of which the CCP has denied its citizens and its ideology
categorically opposes.
Just like the
CCP media called Australia “the chewing gum on China’s boot”, there are
shameful politicians and scholars in Australia who are always quickly offended
by any criticism to the CCP regime, while keep a shut eye to the horrors of the
regime past and present. They like to resort to “racism” to
discredit criticisms to the CCP, but they never mention that CCP’s brutality
is responsible for killing over 70 million innocent Chinese civilians through
execution, persecution and man-made famine. unnatural deaths of Chinese
nationals and overseas Chinese.
When Sir
Winston Churchill made the Iron Curtain Speech, when US President Ronald Reagan
made the Evil Empire Speech, the communist regimes around the world and
pro-communist individuals in the West reacted the exact same way.
Whilst Mr Abbot
has famously made naïve mistakes regarding the same issues, such as in 2014
when Xi visited, he once believed that Xi wanted China to become a “Democratic
Society”; and he also attended a fundraiser with Hung Ly and other
individuals linked to United Front. But Mr Abbot quickly stated that he would
not have gone if he knew of their links to the CCP United Front’s propaganda
arm. Mr Abbott’s recent courageous comments showed that he clearly has Australia’s valued in
mind and he is not bought by the CCP United Front. But Senator Keneally never
regretted her meeting.
We the
Australian Values Alliance wishes to express our support to Mr Abbot for his
effort and courage in promoting Australian Values. We also wish to express our
solidarity with the peoples in Asia Pacific whose sovereignty, freedoms and way
of life are directly under threat of the CCP.
