Now the Chinese community are splitting deeper because of the concert planned by a few people with untold purposes and has aroused unnecessary hatred in the community. By leasing the government-owned property to the concert organizer, the City of Sydney played an inappropriate role of damaging the harmony in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPreaching Maoism is to abuse the multicultural policy and is damaging the Australian fundamental values. We are defending those precious values for which we are loyal to Australia and her people.\u201d Said John Hugh.
