Bob Brown finds China doesn’t like free speech (unlike Bush)
2003-10-24
’Chinese agents’ kicked out guests
CHINESE secret service agents stopped guests of the Australian Greens from entering the public gallery to hear Chinese President Hu Jintao’s speech to Parliament, Greens Senator Bob Brown said today.
hahahaha oh, so you mean unlike Bush they don’t like free speech? Bob wasn’t planning to shout him down anyway, he saved that special rudeness for the leader of the FREE world.
Although he admitted he had no proof the men were Chinese agents, Senator Brown said he was willing to make the claim.
Paranoid AND rude. Please somebody kick him out next election.
"Our invited guests from the Chinese Democrats and the Tibetans had their privileges removed," he said.
Oh, so a really GOOD cause got sidelined because you were so busy big-noting yourself by criticising the President of a country with a great human-rights record instead.
"They were prohibited from the gallery and put up behind glass. What’s more, a Chinese secret service agent was there to determine who did and who didn’t get into the gallery on our invitation." Senator Brown said the Chinese agents stopped his guests, including the chairman of the Federation for a Democratic China Australia division, Chin Jin, at the entrance to the public gallery and phoned Speaker of the House Neil Andrew’s office. "A check was then made with Mr Andrew’s office and he then redirected ... the Tibetans and Mr Chin, representing the democratic movement in China, out of the gallery and up into the school children’s place behind glass and without interpreter facilities," he said.
the school children’s place: right where Bob Brown should have been put yesterday
"That’s just outrageous."
Don’t pretend you care, Bob, you’re just covering your arse against charges you don’t care about anything except bashing America
