Supporters of Hong Kong's democracy protesters gathered in Sydney to mark two years since mass protests in Hong Kong turned violent.
"Basically in Hong Kong, dissent is not tolerated nowadays. They're putting dissidents and activists to jail. So now targeting journalists, teachers, all walks of life," Mr Hui told SBS News. "Jail time is not frightening to me. But if we lose our freedoms - no one can speak up at all. And it is quite detrimental to Hong Kong."
NSW Labor Senator Tony Sheldon said he believes the Australian government should do more to provide refuge to Hong Kong residents fleeing the region because of the national security law. "Move beyond just a visa which finishes up in four years time," he told SBS News, after addressing the rally."It should be extended to actual rights to become Australian residents and citizens. For those who struggle and are fighting for democracy, I think they make damn good Australians.
Tiffany Cheung attended the Sydney rally, saying she felt it is important to point out how the situation in Hong Kong has deteriorated over the past two years. Beijing's leaders have dismissed the call for democracy, portraying those who protested as stooges of"foreign forces" trying to undermine China.
And I guess if Morrison rejected his motion, these rioters will instigate another protest in Australia — “Liberate Australia, Revolution of our times”.
Yes, give them citizenship. They will make a great addition to Australian society. ScottMorrisonMP AlexHawkeMP

No ethnic Anglo protestors for them too?
