So they are activists that live in…

Hey HK authorities, we all know you're just a bunch of CCP puppets. And what any Chinese person does outside of your realm, let alone the land Down Under is out of your jurisdiction.

So you CCP puppets had better not think about fooling with Aussie sovereignty. And MYOB.

Shaddup You Faces!!!!!

The Hong Kong authorities are now CCP appointed and have been since Oct. 2019. So go whine to Lord Supreme Commander Guy Xi.

Once again Australia showing the world what INTEGRITY looks and sounds like. Standing up for the little man.

They will be arrested if they set foot in Hong Kong airport. They are not activists but instigators of 2019 riots.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday criticized Hong Kong authorities over their pursuit of two pro-democracy activists who live in Australia.

Rightfully so.

Real tone deaf decision from Hong Kong (cough cough Beijing). Still, they are safe as long as they don't visit Hong Kong.

Hong Kong has no legitimate leadership. Those claiming it are usurpers. An international arrest warrant should be out for them for contributing to the violation of the 1997 agreement.

Go and take a leap, Hong Kong government. Bunch of corrupt, sick totalitarians who have a hatred of democracy and freedom.

Scum HK have zero jurisdiction over Australia, the UK, US, Canada - or wherever these freedom fighters may be.

Hong Kong - the sewer of Communist China.

Any tourist or businessperson from the west or east is in danger of being used as a bargaining chip by China. Can be arrested, charged and sent to prison purely for political reasons. Therefore as before, I urge everyone to never travel to China for ANY reason!!!!

Why risk your freedom??? Stay away from China!!!

Stay away from China!!!

100% correct - and of course that applies to HK as it is now under the same totalitarian and oppressive rules.

Westerners stupidly going to HK have been increasingly reporting being detained and locked up simply for having criticised anything about China in the past, on social media for example.

Boycott HK and avoid ANY travel there at all costs!

Hong Kong remains a vibrant city of 7 million good people. Hate and ignorance benefit no one.

So these activits are wanted for life. HK/China putting out a fatwah like another extremist totalitarian state.

Maybe the US and the West should honestly start distancing themselves from this regime and country. They're nothing but trouble.

Well done Albanese! I hope other western countries will follow this humanitarian approach and integrity.

6 ( +6 / -0 )

The HK activists would be wise to take Albanese's show of support with a pinch of salt. He talks tough but his promises are worth little. Just ask Australians who are battling sky-high energy bills.

What do you call prodemocracy activists when the regime is supported by the White Bloc rather than opposed by it?

Terrorists. At least if you're a media outlet
