Majority of Australians Favor Independence Over US Alliance

Twenty-five per cent said the nation should do its best not to engage in world affairs and 17 per cent were unsure….reports Asian Lite News

More Australians believe the nation should aim to become an independent middle power than primarily an ally of the US, a poll has found.

Published by the online Australian edition of British newspaper ‘The Guardian’ on Tuesday, the poll found that 38 per cent of Australians said the country’s role in global affairs should be as an independent middle power, Xinhua news agency reported.

Twenty-five per cent said the nation should do its best not to engage in world affairs and 17 per cent were unsure.

The poll found that 63 per cent of Australians described themselves as concerned about Israel’s military action in Gaza.

Thirty-seven per cent of Australians said Israel should withdraw permanently from military action in Gaza, twice as many than 18 per cent who supported it continuing.

Two thirds of participants in the poll said they believed the world is either very or somewhat divided and 10 per cent described it as united.

Sixty-eight per cent agreed that global instability makes trade more expensive and 57 per cent said it would undermine efforts to solve problems including climate change.

Jaishankar Visits Sailani Avenu, Meets Indian Community in Australia

Sailani was one of 12 known Indian Anzacs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) who served with the Australian Imperial Army during World War I…..reports Asian Lite News

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met Indian community leaders as he visited Sailani Avenue, a street in Australia’s Perth city named after Shimla-born soldier Nain Singh Sailani.

Sailani was one of 12 known Indian Anzacs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) who served with the Australian Imperial Army during World War I.

Enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force in 1916, he was killed in Belgium while on active duty in June 1917.

“Visited Sailani Avenue in Perth. Named after Nain Singh Sailani, an Indian-origin soldier honored in Australia,” Jaishankar, who is on a two-day visit to Australia to attend the 7th Indian Ocean Conference, wrote on X.

“Glad to meet some of our veterans and Indian community leaders there.”

The minister earlier joined his counterpart Penny Wong to discuss India-Australia ties, Indian Ocean architecture, and the shared interests of both countries in the Indo-Pacific.

Sailani Avenue was earlier known as Nelson Avenue and was renamed in honour of the Sikh war hero in 2023, following a personal request from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“Sailani Avenue will act as a tangible reminder of the role Anzacs from the Indian community played in shaping our state’s history and paving the way for future generations,” Basil Zempilas, Lord Mayor of Perth, had said.

Born in Shimla in 1873, Sailani migrated to Australia in 1895 as a 22-year-old and initially lived in the town of Geraldton, about 400 kilometres north of Perth, where he found work as a labourer.

He was 43 when he volunteered for the Australian Imperial Force in 1916 and was allotted to the 44th Battalion as the First World War broke out.

He served with his unit in France and was one of two Indian-Australian soldiers, the other being soldier Sarn Singh, killed in action on June 1, 1917.

Sailani was buried at the Strand Military Cemetery in Belgium alongside other Australian soldiers, and a plaque was put in Kings Park, Perth, in 2017 to honour his sacrifice.

He received the British War Medal, Victory Medal, and the 1914/15 Star in recognition of his service.

Indian-origin Australian senator Breaks Tradition, Swears on Bhagavad Gita

Ghosh is the second Indian-origin Australian in the Senate after Dave Sharma who was sworn in as a senator for New South Wales (NSW) in December….reports Asian Lite News

 Indian-origin barrister Varun Ghosh has become the first-ever Australian Senator to take the oath of office on the Bhagavad Gita.

The 38-year-old took his position in the Australian Senate with the Labour Party officially confirming him as their pick to represent Western Australia (WA), replacing present senator Patrick Dodson.

Welcoming Ghosh in his new role, Penny Wong, Minister for Foreign Affairs and South Australia senator wrote on X: “Senator Ghosh is the first ever Australian Senator sworn in on the Bhagavad Gita. I have often said, when you’re the first at something, you’ve got to make sure you’re not the last”.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Ghosh, a barrister at Francis Burt Chambers, will be a “great voice” for WA.

“I was so pleased to support your candidacy and I say this as well, you’ve got big shoes to fill,” Albanese was quoted as saying in The Sydney Morning Herald.

The PM earlier wrote on X: “Welcome Varun Ghosh, our newest Senator from Western Australia. Fantastic to have you on the team”.

Ghosh is the second Indian-origin Australian in the Senate after Dave Sharma who was sworn in as a senator for New South Wales (NSW) in December.

Ghosh, who joined the Labor party in Perth at the age of 17 after his parents moved from India in the 1980s, said his preselection was an honour he won’t take for granted.

“I have had the privilege of a good education and believe strongly that high-quality education and training should be available to everyone,” he said in a statement issued earlier.

At the 2019 federal election, Ghosh was placed in fifth position on the Australian Labour Party’s Senate ticket in Western Australia but was not elected.

He received degrees in Arts and Law from the University of Western Australia and was a Commonwealth Scholar in Law at the University of Cambridge.

He previously worked as a finance attorney in New York and as a consultant for the World Bank in Washington, DC.

Ghosh returned to Australia in 2015 as a senior associate with King & Wood Mallesons, representing banks, resource companies, and construction companies in dispute resolution.

Australian Writer Gets Suspended Death Sentence in China

The suspended death sentence can be converted to a life sentence after two years, pending good behaviour…reports Asian Lite News

Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong has said that Australian writer Yang Hengjun has been given a suspended death sentence by a Chinese court. Calling the Chinese court’s decision “harrowing” and “appalling,” Wong summoned China’s ambassador for an explanation earlier this afternoon, ABC News reported.

The suspended death sentence can be converted to a life sentence after two years, pending good behaviour, according to ABC News report. The Australian citizen, writer and democracy activist Yang Hengjun has been imprisoned in China since 2019 on charges of spying. Yang Hengjun has always denied the charges.

In a statement, Penny Wong stated, “The Australian Government is appalled that Australian citizen, Dr Yang Jun, has today received a suspended death sentence in Beijing. We understand this can be commuted to life imprisonment after two years if the individual does not commit any serious crimes in the two-year period. This is harrowing news for Dr Yang, his family and all who have supported him.”

Penny Wong stressed that Yang Hengjun had further appeal avenues available and the government would continue to advocate on his behalf. The Australian government has petitioned for the release of Australian writer.

As per the news report, Australian officials were unable to attend Yang Hengjun’s closed trial in 2021. Wong said, “We have consistently called for basic standards of justice, procedural fairness and humane treatment for Dr Yang, in accordance with international norms and China’s legal obligations.”

She said, “All Australians want to see Dr Yang reunited with his family. We will not relent in our advocacy.”

In a statement, a supporter of Yang said his family was “shocked and devastated by this news, which comes at the extreme end of worst expectations. They will take time to process.”

In 2023, Yang Hengjun’s family wrote to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, warning his health was rapidly declining and requesting Albanese to do “all in his power” to secure his release during his visit to China.

Yang Hengjun has been detained in China for almost five years. However, his family has fears that there is a narrowing window of opportunity to secure his release, ABC News reported.

There was optimism among some of Yang’s supporters after China’s decision to release former state TV anchor Cheng Lei h.

Yang’s family wrote, “We have been inspired by the wonderful news of Cheng Lei’s release and return to Melbourne.” The family mentioned, “We hope that you, Foreign Minister Penny Wong and Ambassador Graham Fletcher can achieve a second miracle by saving our father.”

One Australian government source called Yang’s case “very different” to that of Chang Lei, according to ABC News report. Although did not give any further detail.

Daniela Gavshon, the Australia director at Human Rights Watch, said diplomatic efforts had not been enough. Gavshon called Chinese court’s decision “outrageous outcome for Dr Yang and his supporters.”

Gavshon stated, “It follows years of arbitrary detention and a closed trial and it is not evidence of any wrongdoing but really of Beijing’s corrupt and opaque criminal justice system. That someone can be sentenced to death on such scant information is deeply worrying.”

Coalition Foreign Affairs spokesperson Simon Birmingham said he was “aghast” at the decision and called it “a terrible reminder of the stark differences between our systems of government and systems of justice [and] a reminder of the risks that apply in doing business and engaging with China,” ABC News reported.

Birmingham stressed that Yang’s case should be “the top priority” for the Australian government in its talks with China. However, he did not criticise the government or called for any specific measures. He said, “It is important we take these matters step by step in the best interests of Dr Yang.” (ANI)

Australia sanctions 5 entities with links to Myanmar regime

Under the sanctions, two banks that enable the regime’s activities, Myanma Foreign Trade Bank and Myanma Investment and Commercial Bank, will be subject to targeted financial sanctions….reports Asian Lite News

Australia on Thursday imposed additional targeted sanctions on five entities with direct links to the Myanmar military regime.

The sanctions are designed to limit the regime’s access to the funds and materials that enable it to continue to commit atrocities against its own people, as per a release issued by Australia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Penny Wong.

Under the sanctions, two banks that enable the regime’s activities, Myanma Foreign Trade Bank and Myanma Investment and Commercial Bank, will be subject to targeted financial sanctions.

Three entities that supply jet fuel to the Myanmar military, Asia Sun Group, Asia Sun Trading Co Ltd, and Cargo Link Petroleum Logistics Co Ltd, will also be subject to targeted financial sanctions.

Wong said the sanctions are a response to the regime’s ongoing repression of the people of Myanmar, escalating violence, and the continuing deterioration of the political, humanitarian and security situation.

“They send a clear message of Australia’s deep concern for the regime’s ongoing actions, and its continued disregard for international efforts, particularly those of ASEAN, to seek a resolution to the crisis,” the Australian Foreign Minister said.

Australia said it will continue to closely monitor the regime’s actions and look for improvements on the ground. “We will continue to use every lever at our disposal to press the regime for the cessation of violence, the release of those unjustly detained, unimpeded humanitarian access, and a return to the path of democracy,” the Australian Foreign Minister said in the official release.

“In this context, we will continue to keep our targeted sanctions towards Myanmar under review.”

“We maintain our strong support for ASEAN’s efforts to resolve the crisis in Myanmar, including the constructive efforts of the ASEAN Chairs and Special Envoys. We call on the military regime to implement the Five-Point Consensus and engage meaningfully and positively with ASEAN representatives.”

Australia said it remains resolute in its support for the people of Myanmar. “They have demonstrated their courage and commitment to democracy, with determined resilience, in the face of unspeakable atrocities. We will continue to ensure our humanitarian and development assistance reaches the most vulnerable,” Wong said.

The US also imposed sanctions on Myanmar’s military regime on Wednesday, three years after the military coup.

The country has designated four individuals and two entities linked to Myanmar’s military regime.

“We are taking this action to target the regime’s sources of revenue which support military activities against civilians. The action also targets those who provide material and support for the production of arms in Burma (Myanmar),” said US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller.

Albanese Condemns Neo-Nazi Activity Following Sydney Incident

On Friday, NSW Police arrested six of nearly 61 heavily disguised individuals, issuing 55 Rail Infringement Notices for offensive behaviour. Two released men received infringement notices. ABC reported all-black attire and a neo-Nazi banner.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the activity of a group of heavily disguised people who had boarded a train in Sydney, saying that he doesn’t want to see people in balaclavas dressed in black from head to toe, who are engaged in neo-Nazi activity in this country.

“It has no place and it is rightly being condemned by all decent people,” he said on Saturday in Orange, Australian state of New South Wales (NSW).

The NSW Police Force announced on Friday that six among the group of nearly 61 heavily disguised people were arrested and taken to the police station following a police operation, and a further 55 men were issued Rail Infringement Notices for offensive behaviour, Xinhua news agency reported.

Two men had since been released and issued infringement notices for offensive behaviour, the police added.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) reported that these people were wearing all black, including balaclavas, and they produced a banner referencing a neo-Nazi group.

Albanese said he was shocked by the number of people.

“We have seen a rise in neo-Nazi activity on extreme right-wing activity,” he added.

Held every year on January 26, Australia Day marks the anniversary of the 1788 landing of the British First Fleet in the country.

Western Australia Targets Indian Tourism

Western Australia is also in contact with a number of players in India, including public sector units and private units for investing in critical minerals…reports Asian Lite News

Western Australia is looking at India to diversify its economy through investment in tourism and critical minerals, with the state government saying there is a “huge opportunity” for Indian businesses in several sectors in Australia’s largest state.

To strengthen ties, the Western Australian government is exploring a direct aviation link, possibly in southern India. Notably, there has been no direct flight from India to Western Australia.

Western Australia’s Deputy Premier, Treasurer, and Minister for Transport and Tourism, Rita Saffioti, has successfully concluded a delegation-led mission in Delhi.

She engaged in meetings with Indian officials, hotel industry businessmen, and aviation sector representatives to explore collaboration and enhanced connectivity.

Speaking to ANI, Saffioti conveyed that the Western Australian government would like to “grow” business economic ties, saying “there is a huge opportunity for Indian businesses.”

Western Australia is also in contact with a number of players in India, including public sector units and private units for investing in critical minerals, Saffioti informed.

Promoting tourism to Western Australia was the priority talking point for the Deputy Premier during her trade mission in Delhi. India is currently Western Australia’s 10th largest trading partner.

“Tourism is a huge opportunity to grow the relationship between India and Australia. We have a lot of tourists but we want to grow tourism. That’s one of the key aims to promote investment in tourism infrastructure in Western Australia,” she said.

In 2023, as many as 90,000 people from India visited Western Australia including those who visited the state for international education. Around 30,000 Indians visited last year for tourism purposes.

“We recorded 15 per cent growth in the number of people visiting from India in 2022. We believe there is an enormous opportunity to grow tourism,” Saffioti asserted.

Saffioti suggested that Western Australia is “open” to any kind of investment in particular into hotels and other tourism-related experiences.

She also met with the Chairman of TATA, India’s largest conglomerate, to explore potential collaborations.

The Invest and Trade WA Business Luncheon held at the Australian High Commission and meeting with the High Commissioner emphasised the commitment to bilateral economic and social growth through promoting tourism to Western Australia and during the luncheon, businesses like Perdaman Group advocated the importance of this.

Noting that Western Australia is abundant in critical minerals, the minister said that the state offers the potential to be a major producer of renewable energy to support India’s clean energy transition and sustainable development (electric vehicles).

“This is a growing partnership in relation to mineral development. We have an abundance of critical minerals such as lithium and vanadium and potential as a major producer of renewable energy, including renewable hydrogen and energy technology, which places Australia in a prime position to support India’s clean energy transition and sustainable development,” she said.

“As energy demand rises, India is likely to meet a greater share of its energy needs through imports. There are opportunities for Indian investment in Western Australia through offtake agreements for key battery minerals,” she added. (ANI)

Aussie Teenagers Survive Namibian Scare

Namibia’s admirable fightback with the ball after an ordinary batting display put the brakes on Australia’s cruise before Weibgen stepped up to calm the storm with a solid innings…reports Asian Lite News

Australia were given a scare by Namibia in a low-scoring affair in Kimberley while Shihab James impressed again as Bangladesh overcame Ireland in Bloemfontein in the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024.

Australian captain Hugh Weibgen was put to work on his first day at the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 as he was required to produce a fighting knock in trying circumstances in the run-chase to give his side a first win in the tournament.

Namibia’s admirable fightback with the ball after an ordinary batting display put the brakes on Australia’s cruise before Weibgen stepped up to calm the storm with a solid innings.

In Bloemfontein, meanwhile, Bangladesh’s batters put together a promising performance. Ireland had put up 235/8 courtesy of a composed 113-ball 90 from Kian Hilton, despite limited help from the others.

In reply, however, a 90-run opening partnership between Ashiqur Rahman Shibli and Adil Bin Siddik, and an unbeaten century stand between Ahrar Amin and Mohammad Shihab James helped the young Tigers home.

Kimberely witnessed special scenes as Namibia, who appeared down and out after the first innings of the game, came roaring back with the ball to induce panic in the Australian camp.

Led by skipper Weibgen, Australia eventually managed to overhaul the target, but it’s unlikely to be considered a convincing victory, despite the exemplary bowling display.

On the bowling front, Australia’s all-pace attack had proved too good for Namibia as the fast bowlers shared 10 wickets between them in 33.1 overs to bowl Namibia out for 91.

Opting to bowl first, Australia had Namibia on the ropes with two wickets inside the first six overs courtesy of Callum Vidler.

Vidler sent back Johannes de Villiers and wicketkeeper Johannes Visagie in back-to-back overs. Namibia’s middle-order was further exposed when Tom Straker dismissed a resilient Gerhard Rensburg, who faced 32 balls for two runs.

Zacheo van Vuuren and Alexander Volschenk made valuable twenties, but before either could carry on for Namibia, Australia struck with further blows.

Van Vuuren was sent back by Straker for 29, and the seamer went on to dismiss Ryan Moffett in the next, as Namibia lost half their side for under 50.

Mahli Beardman joined the fast bowling party with a wicket in the next over before Henry van Wyk offered Volschenk some company.

The duo arrested the slide and resisted for a bit, but Vidler once again proved to be too good for them –- he returned to end van Wyk’s 26-ball vigil for seven.

Volschenk struck a few lusty blows, but it didn’t take long for Australia to wipe out the tail, Namibia being bowled out for 91.

It was more of the same in the second innings. Jack Brassell and Hanro Badenhorst led Namibia’s impressive fightback with the ball, sharing five wickets between them to reduce Australia to 57/5 inside the first 13 overs. But ultimately, they just didn’t have enough runs on board to push the Aussies further.

Weibgen stood tall amid the other batters with a captain’s knock, remaining unbeaten on 39 off 43. With some help from Raf MacMillan, Weibgen ensured his team crossed the line and began their campaign with an all-important win.

Bangladesh beat Ireland

Kian Hilton’s 90 laid the platform for Ireland’s solid batting display in Bloemfontein after Bangladesh chose to bowl after winning the toss, but his valiant single-handed effort was overcome by a team effort from the Tigers, where four batters crossed the 30-run mark.

Maruf Mridha, who had picked up a five-wicket haul against India, was once again in the thick of the action early with the ball, snaring Ryan Hunter early while Sheikh Paevez Jibon dismissed Gavin Roulston for five.

No.4 batter Hilton walked in with the team in a spot of bother at 45/2 and held up his end steadily. While Bangladesh struck with two big wickets in the middle overs, Hilton found an able company in Scott Macbeth.

Macbeth and Hilton stitched together an 81-run stand that posed a major threat to Bangladesh. Between overs 25 and 35, the pair managed to hit seven boundaries as the partnership frustrated the fielding side.

Ireland were heading to what would have been a strong total when skipper Mahfuzur Rahman Rabby struck with the vital wicket of Macbeth to break the stand.

John McNally made a 24-ball 23 while Hilton carried on with his calculated approach as Ireland prepared for a late onslaught.

That never quite materialised, however, with Mridha and Rohanat Doullah Borson, who had taken a hat-trick in the warm-up games, taking a wicket apiece.

Ireland finished on 235/8, making 61 runs in the last 10 overs. The impressive Hilton fell just 10 runs short of what would have been an impressive century.

In response, a solid 90-run opening stand between Ashiqur Rahman Shibli and Adil Bin Siddik gave Bangladesh a strong foothold in a run-chase of 236. Ireland fought back, taking four wickets in the space of eight overs to add some jeopardy as the chase progressed.

At 130/4, Ireland seemed to be clawing their way back into the game, but any hope for a win was thwarted by a strong stand between Ahrar Amin and Mohammad Shihab James. The duo put on a century stand to ease Bangladesh to a win.

While Amin made an unbeaten 45, Shihab James, who had made a half-century against India in the previous game, struck another fifty (55*).

Australia Welcomes Cameron Green Back

The strategic move not only addresses the void left by Warner’s retirement but also enhances Australia’s batting order…reports Asian Lite News

Australia and West Indies have announced their playing XI for the Test series opener in Adelaide. Australia’s captain, Pat Cummins, confirmed that Cameron Green would make a return, and Steve Smith, in pursuit of a new chapter in his career, will open the batting.

The shift in Smith’s role came after he advocated for the opportunity to open, leaving the No.4 spot for the returning Cameron Green, who had previously occupied the No.6 position. Green admitted feeling “a touch rushed” at No.6 and is now set to reclaim the No.4 position, where he excelled in the Marsh Sheffield Shield for Western Australia.

The strategic move not only addresses the void left by Warner’s retirement but also enhances Australia’s batting order. With both Green and Mitch Marsh in the squad, Cummins finds himself with surplus bowling options, providing a well-balanced team for the Test series.

On the West Indies side, captain Kraigg Brathwaite revealed the inclusion of three debutants: Kavem Hodge, Justin Greaves, and Shamar Joseph. The absence of key allrounders Jason Holder and Kyle Mayers, who are participating in T20 leagues, coupled with a shoulder concern sidelining fast bowler Jayden Seales, has prompted the Windies to introduce fresh talent.

Shamar Joseph, who hails from a remote village in central Guyana, impressed selectors in a recent tour match, showcasing potential with the ball. Experienced players like Hodge and Greaves, both 29 years old, bring first-class level expertise to the West Indies lineup.

Caribbean legend Brian Lara’s mentorship in the nets and the guidance of former Australian pace bowler Shaun Tait as their coach have added valuable perspectives to the Windies camp. As West Indies aim to end a nearly 21-year Test victory drought against Australia and seek their first win down under since 1997, Brathwaite emphasizes that his team will not be mere pushovers.

The Windies, determined and backed by a mix of seasoned players and promising debutants, are poised for a competitive start to the Test series, setting the stage for an intriguing clash in Adelaide.

Playing XIs:

Australia: Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Cameron Green, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey (wk), Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins (c), Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

West Indies: Kraigg Brathwaite (c),Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Kirk McKenzie, Alick Athanaze, Kavem Hodge, Justin Greaves, Joshua Da Silva (wk), Alzarri Joseph, Kemar Roach, Gudakesh Motie, Shamar Joseph
