Senate Matters of Public Importance - Tibet
Channel: Australian Parliament Fan
Date: 2023-06-28

The matter of public importance for discussion in this video, as proposed by Senator Nick McKim, was:
"His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a leader of peace, compassion and non-violence in Australia and the world; the severe violations of religious freedom in Tibet and the policy of sinicising Tibetan culture and religion is concerning, and; decisions regarding the selection, education, and veneration of Tibetan Buddhist religious leaders are exclusively spiritual matters that should be made by the appropriate religious authorities within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition and in the context of the will of practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism."

The transcript of this proceeding can be found:
