Charlotte believes she and others from Australia-Hong Kong Link could now be at risk of getting arrested for their anti-Beijing beliefs if they return to Hong Kong.

Following the passage of the security law on Tuesday, some two dozen Western countries, including Australia, urged China to reconsider it. “That this decision was made without the direct participation of Hong Kong's people, legislature or judiciary is a further cause for concern.”Senator Payne said Australia has been"a favoured destination for people from Hong Kong", and the government would “work to ensure it stays that way”.

ScotM has already said we don’t have any plan to receive these political refugees. Of course, we will welcome any legal migrants from HK. TW has publicly announced there’s no way to have HK extremists/rioters to come TW, any illegal migrants will be sent back to HK or mainland.

How about White South Africans still being killed raped and murdered based on the colour of their skin?

Hong Kongers 🤔

I can understand the CCP in situations like this as they seen protesters destroy people's business and property that has nothing to do with the CCP. They are criminals.

There are many kinds of protesters. The protesters with face covered are not welcome. Grown people should be responsible for their acts.

No place welcome these “ HKers”

China can't be trusted on any level. Taiwan beware.

Where have you been? I expected China to do this a decade earlier. They are liars and cheats. Why do any decent countries have anything to do with them? Oh that's right greed over money.

Isn't SBS worried about losing funding from the CCP, or am I missing something here?

Yep would be happy to have HKers come to Australia.

Australia joins dozens of Western countries urging China to scrap Hong Kong security lawBritain and some two dozen Western countries including Australia have urged China to reconsider its new national security law for Hong Kong, saying Beijing must preserve the right to assembly and free press in the former British colony. Us Blackfellas are Western like the foreign Western migrants and their descendants still here like PM ScoMo? Don't speak for us ! In the 1930s, the world had a chance to stop Hitler but they watched things wind up from afar until it was too late. Getting the same vibe here. Now's the time for the rest of the world to stand up. China is as powerful as it is because the rest of the world allow them to be. Do you really believe China, with all its arrogance, is going to listen? We need to get real. Take back all the assets that were mistakenly sold to Chinese nationals, freeze financial accounts, and the country’s involved to reduce trade to become less dependent. Watch China then
