标题: Flinders 那位同学,我们是另一组当事的 Petitioner,不要怕,请进来!
欢迎网友把本帖转载各澳华论坛,尽快让Flinders 那位同学看到,谢谢!

Council 里面是有正义的声音的,请见今天早上所发邮件:

To: Phillip Martin <[email protected]>; Anne Moran <[email protected]>
Cc: Robert Simms <[email protected]>; Arman Abrahimzadeh OAM <[email protected]>; Franz Peter Knoll <[email protected]>; Mary Couros <[email protected]>; Zhuopeng (Simon) Hou <[email protected]>; Jessy Khera <[email protected]>; Greg Mackie <[email protected]>; Helen Donovan <[email protected]>; Alexander Hyde <[email protected]>; Lord Mayor <[email protected]>
Subject: Re: A petition to dismiss Simon Hou as councillor of Central Ward



Dear Councillor Moran:

Thank you for your kind support. Yes, it is shocking, but the even more shocking development is yet to come over the weekend. It has been reported by the media that Mr Hou's lawyer has sent a letter to the other petitioner (reportedly a Flinders Uni international student), demanding $ 50,000 for defamation   https://www.reddit.com/r/Adelaide/comments/ld62fq/advice_needed_councillor_simon_hou_of_the/

We find it necessary to express our honest opinions on the matter:

1. In the letter which was originally shown in the link above (now locked), Mr Hou's lawyer has quoted our petition in allegations against the other petitioner. We have no connection whatsoever with the poor student. It is unfair, and simply wrong, to make allegations on the other petitioner by mixing the two separate petitions together.


2. In the last email in response to Councillor Martin's request for a translation of Mr Hou's statement, we have referred to the other petition because it was handily ready on line. We have taken every reasonable steps for proof reading the translation in the other petition, and we believe on reasonable grounds that it is a fair translation.


3. Having said that, due to the immense difference between the Chinese and English language, no translation can claim to be 100% accurate. In fact, there are a lot of subtle meanings underneath the words and between the lines of Mr Hou's statement which can only be apprehended by native Chinese speakers and can hardly be translated into English directly. It is exactly for this reason why Mr Hou's statement had sparked wide spread criticism among the Chinese Australian community, not only in Adelaide but across the country. There have been thousands of comments on Mr Hou's statement, including but not limited to this famous one by 澳洲吐槽君 阿德莱德某议员神操作回顾  

4. It is completely unAustralian for an elected member to respond to a petition by an individual member of the public with a defamation lawsuit, let alone on a vulnerable international student. To the best of my knowledge, it never happened with any elected members at any tiers of governments in Australia.

5. A member of a local government is defined as a public officer under Schedule 1 of the ICAC Act 2012 (SA). The character and conduct of a public officer is to be put under the test of a high standard of integrity.

6. A petition by a member of the public to the governing organisation in regards to the conduct of a public officer is the exercise of an implied constitutional freedom of communication with respect to political disclosure or matters. (see Nationwide News Pty Led v Wills, and also Australian Capital Television Pty Ltd v Commonwealth of Australia)

7. "Political discussion" includes discussion of the conduct, policies or fitness for office of government, political parties, public bodies, public officers and those seeking public office. The freedom of communication about the government of the Commonwealth extends to all political matters, including matters relating to other levels of government. This is a constitutional defence for defamatory matters upheld by the HCA (see Theophanous v Herald & Weekly Times Ltd, and also Stephens v West Australian Newspapers Ltd )

8. Further to the above, Defamation Act 2005 (SA) also provides a number of other defences in Part 4 Division 2 which can be applied to this matter.

9. There is no chance of winning on Mr Hou's side. However, we acknowledge his right to put this matter before the court. If he chooses to do so, we will stand in solidarity with the other petitioner. We will go fund for the poor young kid to fight the legal battle in the Magistrate Court, District Court, Supreme Court and/or all the way up to the High Court if need be.

We truly believe that the Adelaide city council, as the recipient of the petition, has a moral duty to do something to help the poor international student who has been under great stress after receiving the letter. Further to that, the council also has a legal duty to clarify its stance on the matter, otherwise this threatened action for defamation will set a dangerous precedence with an appalling chilling effect on all future petitioners or whistle blowers.

Defamation lawsuit is not a tool for those with superior financial position to shut the humble people's mouth up. Do You Hear the People Sing?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1q82twrdr0U


May God bless you all and the poor kid.


V for Victory of the people

On behalf of a growing group of citizens across Adelaide and beyond

谢谢支持!已经转给Flinders的那位同学。他确实压力很大,因为Simon Hou 的律师要求周一下班前回复,周末很难找到legal assistance,而且律师是Greg Griffin
作者: 苍天饶过谁    时间: 8-2-2021 10:36
谢谢你们也跟他一起战斗!虽然我和学生也是素未谋面,但是我和我的朋友们准备好了对他进行无条件经济上和法律上的支持!不管对方律师是谁,我们准备好了战斗到底!Simon Hou 和他朋友 Gavin Guo, 以及 Jason Duan的行为绝对不能被容忍。他们是华人之耻!!

谢谢你们,请转告Flinders的那位同学,不要担心,Hou 方面的诉求完全没有法理基础,而且必须明确指出,他的律师移花接木,把我们的 petition 和 Flinders 那位同学的 petition 混为一谈,是完全不可以接受的,让他打回去重写(如果他还想杠到底的话),我想他今天只需要回这一句就够了

值得注意的是,flinder的学生给 city council 发邮件不到一个小时,Simon Hou 就发邮件给他律师了,六个小时后学生收到律师函。
鉴于Greg Graffin 'specialises in Liquor Licensing, Commercial/Property Advice, Corporate Law, Commercial Litigation and Sports Law', 也有可能他之前和 Simon Hou 有合作。
建议大家去 google review 上留言,要求Greg Griffin 不再代理 Simon Hou 的案子

Greg Griffin 是 former Adelaide United chairman,曾经代理过若干体育明星的诽谤案,但恕我直言,对于公共政治领域的诽谤案,他完全是外行,相关的法理依据我上面的邮件已经说的很清楚了,政治人物和体育明星之类的诽谤案,完全不一样,那位同学完全没有必要担心。

谢谢!希望这位学生没有因此次事件遭受任何经济或其他损失(如果有,也没关系,他有强大的后援团)。他是一个见义勇为的英雄,这种行为应该受到鼓励!有这样的人,我们Chinese community才能更好向前!而不是每次都因为wage theft这种问题被人诟病。既然大家决定移民澳洲,遵守尊重澳洲法律法规是必须的。

   很多人在其他论坛建议这位同学现在筹款,包括鬼佬论坛和其他澳洲的中文论坛,如果他筹款的话相信会获得大笔资金的帮助,所以他不用担心。

倒是那位议员,如果真的上诉的话,那这次就要臭名昭著了。搞不懂他到底在想些什么,明明是一个路人,现在成了一次主角,每一次发言都让更多的人愤怒,一次比一次更愚蠢的做法,让他自己走到现在……

其实,说实话,我倒不认为他是一个坏人,只是没有脑子罢了。

作为所谓的阿德莱德CBD 华商代表,难道不应该敦促 商家 按照 澳洲法律法规 付给员工合理工资吗?作为政治人物,如果连基本法律都不知道不了解,那么没有资格做 councilor. 而如果明知违法却不管不问,不作为的话那就是品行不好, 至少政治上品行不端!

谢谢,已经转达了,学生现在可能不能马上查看Reddit,但今天肯定会看的。
我之前也联系过Tammy Frank,她人很好,她也是第一个电视上指出打人犯法的政治人物,而不是像候先生,一味的“两个都是我朋友,stupid, 不能和朋友切割”.

白左,绿党?!你想说明什么?
就算白左,绿党,也不过是人身上的政治标签而已,介入是因为看不下去,因为人家有良知!!而且明确告诉你,除了绿党,其他党的议员也介入了!
所有介入这件事情的人,跟受害者没有一点关系,全部是素未谋面,但是良知告诉我们,需要公平公正!打人,wage theft, 在其位不谋其政,包庇黑恶势力的,必须受到惩罚!!

你别乱带节奏了,不知道还以为你是帮奶爸做广告呢。哪只眼睛看到都是骂女生的了?人家网友很文明客观地在论述事实,比你素质高多了。事情很复杂,分开而论就事论事。别都混为一谈。如果你想自家女人被别人如何对待,就请在外面如何对待别的女生!
