Coalition of 201 Parliamentarians and policymakers from 23 countries unite against Beijing’s new Hong Kong measures

A CROSS-PARTY international coalition of 201 parliamentarians and policymakers from 23 countries, including 20 Australian MPs and Senators, today issued a statement decrying Beijing’s "unilateral introduction of national security legislation in Hong Kong" and calling for sympathetic governments to unite against this "flagrant breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration".

Led by the former Governor of Hong Kong, Lord Christopher Patten, and the former UK Foreign Secretary, Sir Malcolm Rifkind, the coalition comprises of a depth of expertise and experience including former prime ministers, foreign secretaries, defence ministers, prominent legal and human rights experts, diplomats, Senators, and Members of Parliament.  

Lord Patten of Barnes said, "The statement shows growing and widespread international outrage at the decision by the Chinese Government to unilaterally impose national security legislation in Hong Kong. The breadth of support, which spans all political parties and four continents, reflects both the severity of the situation and ongoing unified international support for the principle of one-country, two-systems."

Signatories include:

  • the Chairs of the Foreign Affairs Committees of the United States, UK, Australia and New Zealand, Congressman Eliot Engel, Tom Tugendhat, Senator David Fawcett and Simon O’Connor.

They were joined by eminent and notable signatories from the UK including:

  • two former Leaders of the UK Conservative Party, Sir Iain Duncan Smith and Lord Howard
  • two former Speakers of the House of Commons, Baroness Boothroyd and John Bercow
  • three former Defence Secretaries, Sir Malcolm Rifkind, Lord King and Liam Fox
  • the former and current leaders of the Liberal Democrats, Tim Farron and Ed Davey
  • the former Deputy Prime Minister Damian Green, and Conservative leadership candidate Rory Stewart
  • the Director of the International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute, Labour peer Baroness Helena Kennedy QC
  • and former leader of the UK Green Party Baroness Bennett.

Former UK Foreign Secretary and Hong Kong Watch Patron, Sir Malcolm Rifkind said,  “This is the most serious threat to the people of Hong Kong that there has been from the Chinese Government since 1997. The people of Hong Kong need, and deserve, our support”

Other signatories include:

  • the Chair of the US House of Representatives committees on Armed Services Congressman Adam Smith
  • Ranking Member of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Senator Robert Menendez
  • the Co-Chairs of the US Congressional Executive Commission on China (CECC), Senator Marco Rubio and Congressman James McGovern, and the CECC’s former Co-Chair Chris Smith
  • the Chair of ASEAN Parliamentarians for Human Rights, Malaysian MP Charles Santiago, and the Chair of the German Bundestag Human Rights Committee Gyde Jensen,
  • the former Prime Minister of Belgium Guy Verhofstadt,
  • the former Prime Minister of Lithuania Andrius Kibulius,
  • the former Deputy Prime Minister of Slovakia Jan Figel,
  • the Chair of the European Parliament Delegations for Relations with China, Reinhard Bütikofer,
  • the former Foreign Ministers of Poland and Estonia, Anna Fotyga and Urmas Paet,

This international coalition brought together to stand in solidarity with Hong Kong spans from North America, the UK, and Europe to South Asia and Australia. It includes policymakers from across the political divide, encompassing Liberal, Conservative, Socialist, and those of no particular ideology. It is a demonstration that concerns for the future of Hong Kong cut across both political ideology and geographic boundaries.

Commenting on the publication of the international statement, Hong Kong Watch’s co-founder and chair, Benedict Rogers said, "The death of democracy in Hong Kong should be of grave concern to us all. We hope that this international statement from policymakers across the political and geographic divide will send a clear message to Beijing that the world will not meekly consent to the dismantling of the ‘One, Country Two Systems’ Model overnight.”

Joint Statement from 201 Signatories

We, the co-signed, write to express grave concerns about the unilateral introduction of national security legislation by Beijing in Hong Kong. 

This is a comprehensive assault on the city's autonomy, rule of law, and fundamental freedoms. The integrity of one-country, two-systems hangs by a thread. 

It is the genuine grievances of ordinary Hong Kongers that are driving protests. Draconian laws will only escalate the situation further, jeopardising Hong Kong’s future as an open Chinese international city. 

If the international community cannot trust Beijing to keep its word when it comes to Hong Kong, people will be reluctant to take its word on other matters. Sympathetic governments must unite to say that this flagrant breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration cannot be tolerated.

QRC shares new Minister’s ambition for regional development and COVID-19 recovery

THE Queensland Resources Council has met with the new Queensland Minister for Regional Development Glenn Butcher and reaffirmed a shared commitment to a strong COVID-19 recovery.

QRC chief executive Ian Macfarlane said the QRC had called for the establishment of the Regional Development portfolio at the 2017 State Election and welcomed the appointment of Mr Butcher, who is the State Member for Gladstone, to the role.

“The Minister had a long career prior to politics working in the resources and energy sector with QAL in Gladstone. Now as Minister, his clear commitment is working with the resources and energy sector,” Mr Macfarlane said.

“While our meeting was physically distant (due to COVID-19 restrictions), our ambitions for regional Queensland growth are closely aligned.

“QRC is committed to working with the Minister to look at how we – the industry and government – can work together to create jobs and attract investment in new resource projects. By streamlining those processes, we can best ensure assessments are comprehensive and approvals are secured to allow projects to develop and jobs to be created.”

Mr Macfarlane said the minister was also responsible for the GasFields Commission, which QRC works closely with under its chairman Ian Langdon and chief executive officer Colin Cassidy PSM.

Newcastle maritime workers provide support to those hardest hit by COVID-19 crisis

MEMBERS of the Maritime Union of Australia Newcastle Branch have raised $16,500 to provide direct financial and practical assistance to local families and vulnerable members of the community enduring hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite facing their own economic uncertainty, union members reached out to local community organisations to identify ways they could deliver immediate support to working families who have found themselves in extreme financial hardship due to the current crisis.

In partnership with Eastlakes Family Support Service, more than a dozen local families have been provided with direct financial assistance. Donations have also been made to the Soul Cafe and the Development and Relief Agency (DARA), assisting the organisations to cook meals for people experiencing homelessness and deliver food hampers to families in need.

MUA Newcastle Branch secretary Glen Williams said all three local community services had faced a surge in demand in recent months, with maritime workers keen to do their bit to assist.

“Many working families have found themselves in financial difficulty because of the COVID-19 pandemic and MUA members wanted to do their bit to look after people who are doing it tough after losing their jobs or homes,” Mr Williams said.

“Despite facing economic uncertainty themselves, local maritime workers have dug deep to provide what assistance they can to help those less fortunate get through this terrible time.

“We partnered with three local organisations with a long history of helping those most in need, providing direct financial support for more than a dozen families facing extreme hardship and providing funding for food hampers and meals for people experiencing homelessness in the Newcastle area.

“Trade unionism is about working people sticking together and looking out for each other, which is why MUA members have given what they can to lend a helping hand to those in our community most in need.”

Soul Cafe CEO Rick Prosser thanked members of the MUA Newcastle Branch for their support.

“On behalf of our team, and particularly the guests we serve each, the Soul Cafe is greatly appreciative of this tremendous community support,” Mr Prosser said.

“This donation will enable our work to continue as we serve some of the most vulnerable people in our community.”

DARA food programs coordinator Baden Ellis said volunteers had been working tirelessly to meet the increased demand for food support in the Newcastle community.

“These funds give DARA the capacity to produce an additional 1,000 meals to provide to Novocastrians affected by COVID-19,” Mr Ellis said.

"I want to express my gratitude to the Maritime Union of Australia for this generous donation.”

For more information about the work of these organisations, or to make a donation, visit Eastlakes Family Support Services (www.efss.org.au), The Soul Cafe (soulcafe.org.au), or Development and Relief Agency (dara.org.au).

Least cost routing to help small businesses on road to recovery

THE Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Kate Carnell is calling on banks to make “least cost routing” available to small business as a matter of urgency.

Ms Carnell said small businesses would benefit if banks adopted least cost routing, sending tap-and-go payments via the cheapest payment pathway to limit the costs incurred by merchants.

“Australian banks have been doing some good work to support small businesses throughout the COVID-19 crisis,” Ms Carnell said.

“Banks have an opportunity to build on this now, by making least cost routing readily available to small businesses for tap-and-go payments.

"It’s estimated about $30 million in extra fees were paid by merchants during March, due to banks directing debit card contactless payments to global companies such as Visa and Mastercard.

“For too long, small businesses have been slugged with unnecessarily high fees from credit card networks, when there is a cheaper option,” Ms Carnell said.

“This is particularly unfair when many small businesses are trying to get back on their feet, with coronavirus restrictions lifting.

“Small businesses are being disproportionally hit by fees, with larger retailers able to bypass full fees by using payment systems directly or by having the market power to negotiate least cost routing with their banks," Ms Carnell said

“There has been plenty of time for the banks to implement these changes. It has been two years since the major banks were directed by Federal Parliamentary committees to embed least cost routing in the merchant services plans they advertise to retailers.

“The banks need to do the right thing by Australian small businesses in this economic crisis and deliver least cost routing as a universal service.

“As of July, Eftpos has announced it will cut the standard wholesale interchange fee paid by small businesses in half to 2 cents for tap-and-go transactions that are routed to Eftpos. Roll-out of least cost routing should be a priority for the banks.”

Technology Investment Roadmap identifies carbon capture as a low emissions tech priority

THE CO2 Cooperative Research Centre (CO2CRC) has welcomed the Federal Government’s embrace of science and technology as the pathway to accelerating low emissions technologies and its identification of carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) as a priority low emissions technology.

CO2CRC chief executive, David Byers said the Technology Investment Roadmap provided a "powerful endorsement of the potential for CCUS to play a vital role in meeting the dual challenge of supplying more energy but with fewer emissions".

Mr Byers said, “As International Energy Agency executive director, Dr Fatih Birol declared earlier this year: ‘When we consider the scale of the energy and climate challenge, the critical importance of carbon capture is inescapable.’

“In that context, Australia is well-placed to be a world leader in CCUS. Recent project activity demonstrates to the nation that CCUS is not a dream for the future but a reality today,” Mr Byers said.

“The world’s largest commercial-scale carbon dioxide injection project commenced in August 2019 at Gorgon LNG on Barrow Island, off the northwest coast of WA. Gorgon is now progressively ramping up to full capacity of up to 4Mtpa of safe and permanent storage of CO2. 

“Santos is at an advanced stage of examining a large-scale commercial carbon capture and storage (CCS) project to be located in the Cooper Basin with a scalable potential to store up to 20 Mtpa of CO2 per year.

 “The launch of the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain pilot project in Victoria has been another leap forward for CCUS in Australia. The CarbonNet Project is investigating the feasibility for a commercial-scale, multi-user CCUS network in Gippsland that will inject CO2 -- including that ultimately produced from commercial-scale hydrogen production -- into deep underground, offshore storage sites in Bass Strait. In January, CarbonNet reached an exciting phase with the conclusion of a successful offshore drilling appraisal well at the Pelican site.

“Finally, COAL21 is examining the development of a commercial scale CCUS project in Queensland’s Surat Basin with a final investment decision to begin construction of a $150 million carbon capture plant at the Millmerran Power Station scheduled for later this year.

“Together, this project activity demonstrates once again that CCUS is not experimental – it is a proven technology, currently being deployed, storing millions of tons of CO2. On a global scale, more than 200 million tonnes of CO2 have been captured and injected deep underground since the 1970s. One project - the Sleipner CCS operation in Norway has separated and injected about one million tonnes of CO2 per year since 1996," Mr Byers said.

“Today, 19 large scale CCS facilities are operating globally and another four are in construction.

The challenge is to continue to improve the cost-effectiveness of CCUS and develop the right policy settings for further investment.  

“The value of CCUS is its versatility as a technology. Its applications extend to industrial processes such as cement, iron and steel. Emissions in these sectors are hard to abate due to inherent process emissions and high temperature heat requirements.

"Earlier this month, Equinor, Shell and Total signed off on the Northern Lights Project - a plan to build a carbon capture network that will capture 5 million tonnes of CO2 per year from various industrial sites including a major Norwegian cement production plant and a large waste to energy plant in Oslo. CO2 emissions will be transported via ship and pipeline to an offshore storage reservoir in the Northern North Sea. Final go ahead for the project is subject to Norwegian Government investment and regulatory approvals,” he said. 

Mr Byers also highlighted the $194 billion export value of Australia’s coal, LNG and iron-ore resources in 2018-19.

“It is in Australia’s national interest to take advantage of all our natural energy resource endowments to enhance economic prosperity. CCUS has an important and unique role to play in reducing emissions from industrial processes vital to Australia’s economy like gas processing, steel and cement production

“CCUS can play a vital role in helping Australia achieve continued economic prosperity while meeting international emissions reductions commitments. The reality is that, over the long-term, there is unlikely to be a cost-effective emissions reduction response without CCUS.

"As the Technology Investment Roadmap points out, Australia is also well-placed to leverage its CCUS scientific and industry knowledge and experience to help neighbours in the Asia-Pacific region meet their low emissions targets.” he said.
