Why this petition matters

Started by Serious Guy

Disclaimer: This petition to request Simon Hou to resign from the city council is solely on the ground of the absence of formal condemnation on wage theft from Simon Hou. All opinions expressed in the petition are my own and I do NOT represent any organisation in this petition. This petition is not affiliated with any petition of similar nature anywhere else.
免责声明:这份请求Simon Hou从阿德莱德市议会辞职的请愿仅由于Simon Hou并未对工资盗窃(在中文中也被称为“无薪加班”)做出正式谴责。在本声明中的表达的所有意见均为本人个人意见, 且本人在此请愿中不代表任何组织。此请愿与其他任何性质相似的请愿无关。

The Funtea incident stormed the Chinese Community in Australia in the last week. The victim has received support from a wide range of organisations. However, the comments of Simon Hou, Central Ward Councillor for the City of Adelaide, is seen as unsatisfactory in some eyes.
上周,Funtea事件在澳洲的华人社区掀起了惊涛骇浪。受害者从范围广泛的个人与组组织收到了支持。但是,阿德莱德市议会中部选区议员Simon Hou对此事的评论,在一些人眼中是不令人满意的。

I am still unable to find any formal condemnation from him on wage-theft. He openly admitted that he knew the alleged assaulter before this incident. The absence of condemnation infuriated some in the Chinese community.
我仍然无法找到任何他对于工资盗窃的正式谴责。他公开承认自己在事件发生前认识被指称的袭击者。谴责的缺失使得华裔社区内的一些人被激怒。

This is the end of the petition.
本请愿至此结束。

更新:

It is a dangerously unprecedented shame in Australian political history that an elected councillor threatens to sue a student over email to council regarding the bubble tea shop incident. The aggressive oppression of freedom of speech and harassment of an underrepresented university student are seriously violating freedom of speech in Australian values, which is one of the most important foundations of our democracy.

这是澳大利亚的政治历史上前所未有的危险耻辱,一个民选议员威胁起诉因奶茶店事件写邮件给市议会的学生。对言论自由的激进压迫和骚扰无依无靠大学生严重违反了,作为我们民主最重要的基础之一,澳大利亚价值观中的言论自由。


We should be vigilant of this councillor's political ideology. There is the rule of law in Australia. Wage theft is ILLEGAL. It is appalling for an elected politician to defend such illegal conduct in a city council meeting.

我们应该警惕这位议员的政治思想。澳大利亚有法治。工资盗窃是非法的。民选政客在市议会会议中袒护这样的非法行为实在令人震惊经。
