Tibet Lobby Day
Yesterday was an important day. Tibetan delegates were in the building, meeting with members of parliament from across the political spectrum to advocate for peace, for freedom and for human rights in Tibet.
Tibet’s traditional practices, culture and Tibetan Buddhism are under threat.
The Greens believe that universal human rights are fundamental and must be respected and protected for all peoples in all countries, and that applies here in Australia as well. We will speak out about human rights abuses wherever they occur.
We urge the Australian government to oppose any effort to interfere with the practices of Tibetan Buddhism and to only recognise the Dalai Lama appointed by Tibetan Buddhist traditions and practices.
