SUPPORT STATEMENT FOR NATIONAL FREE CHINA RALLY
From Senator Natasha Stott Despoja
4 June 2005
I join with you in remembering the tragic massacre of pro-democracy activists on Tiananmen Square 16 years ago and the many people who have suffered violence at the hands of the Chinese Government since that time.
I have consistently endeavoured to draw attention to China’s ongoing disregard for human rights through my work in the Parliament and the community. It is unacceptable that basic rights, such as freedom of association and belief, continue to be violated in China.
These issues are directly relevant to Australia. They affect the relatives of Australian citizens, they are occurring in our own Asian-Pacific region and they must not be ignored in the context of free trade negotiations with China.
While our trade relationship with China is important to Australia’s economy, we must not pursue trade at any cost. We should not abandon our most fundamental values for the sake of economic gain.
我今天和你们站在一起纪念那些在16年前天安门惨案的死去的民主人士以及在中共政权下受到蹂躏的人们。
我一如既往的通过我在议会的工作和社团呼吁关注中国对人权的漠视，中国对基本人权，如集会和信仰的不断的践踏是不可以接受的。
这些问题直接牵扯的澳洲，他影响了澳洲公民的亲人，这些都是与中国的自由贸易协定的谈判内不可忽视的内容
我们与中国的贸易关系对于澳洲经济是很重要的，但是，我们不能为了一味追求贸易而不计代价，我们不应该为了经济利益而牺牲我们基本的理念。
