On June 18 2002, the local newspaper of Brimbank city
published an article entitled “Brimbank Supports Falun Gong’s Endeavors.”
The reporter (not a practitioner) introduced the principles of Falun
Dafa, the persecution in China and how Jiang’s regime has extended the
persecution to Australia.
The article mentioned that the Mayor of Brimbank also
received slanderous materials from Jiang’s regime. The Mayor, Cr. Andres
Puig, stated that he was very happy to see Falun Gong practitioners
doing the exercises in this city. He also attended the Brimbank Falun
Dafa Day celebration in person and gave a speech that confirmed the
Falun Dafa principles “Truth Compassion Tolerance” is valuable
to world peace, has contributed to cultural diversity in Australia,
and has positive health benefits to local residents. The celebration
was held in the largest shopping center in the area and many audience
members wanted the practitioners to perform and demonstrate the exercises
again.
The manager of the shopping center called the Falun Dafa
practitioner again a few weeks later. He said many local people read
the newspaper article and others had watched the performance at the
shopping center. They wanted the practitioners to give a performance
again. The practitioners were very moved by the invitation and they
decided to give another performance on October 12 (Saturday) to join
the weeklong activity to support the refugees.
People were smiling and happy to see our performance and
exercises demonstration. When we were too busy, people would pick up
the flyers and introductory materials by themselves. Two musicians at
the activity were moved by the practitioners and came to perform a famous
melody for Falun Dafa practitioners who were doing the meditation.
Another large local newspaper sent a reporter to the event
to interview the Brimbank Falun Dafa practitioners.
