Interesting side note to @BackgroundBrief's report on the Falun Gong and Oz media a while back. Last year the Department of Human Services had a partnership with FLG's Sound of Hope 希望之声, which resulted in the show "Engage Australia" 走入澳洲. ozvoice.org/radio-programs…
A Youtube series with the same title was also made. It began with videos about life in Australia - the kind of stuff that the Department presumably had in mind. Then, in July, the "Engage Australia" Youtube channel changed its name to "Voices" 真觀點. youtube.com/channel/UCAwVp…
If you search Youtube for 走入澳洲 today, you'll go straight to Voices. The video announcing the change is here. The first episode of the rebranded series is on Dr Yan and the Coronavirus - currently a hot FLG talking point. It continues in that vein. youtube.com/channel/UCAwVp…
So in 2019 the Department of Human Services was encouraging Chinese Australians to follow this channel for an orientation to life in Australia. If they did that, and subscribed, they're now being fed a Falun Gong spin on US-China and Australia-China news. Quite amazing.
Sorry, seem to have the incorrect link above for the July video announcing the change from Engage Australia to Voices. It’s here:
