1 Foreword

A group of ghosts are wandering on the earth in 2020 from east to west, and south to north, being accompanied by extreme natural disasters such as the great plague, flood, famine, earthquake, high temperature and drought, as well as large-scale and dramatic conflicts, strife, and even wars in human society. 2020 has undoubtedly become the historical dividing line that will affect the development of thousands of years in the future. Since the first day of its establishment in 2012, Australian Chinese Workers Association (ACWA) has been being carried out a series of practices and actions in accordance with the objectives and mission of “Promoting and Practicing Free Trade Doctrine, Multiculturalism, Corporatism and Progressive Social Welfare Policy in the Chinese Community”, and initiated "Free Workers Movement" in 2015. Today, the world situations and social conditions have been changing dramatically. We believe that it is necessary to re-elaborate thoroughly on the objective and mission of ACWA by applying the basic principles of Free Workers Movement, and to make a summary of practice and activities in Australia over the past eight years, as well as a vision for our future development.

2 Basic Principles of the Free Workers Movement

Free Workers Movement is to generate a series of mega-changes and reforms on values, world views and eventually on policies and political systems, through a series of social activities with workers as the main body. The purpose is to liberate laborers from the enslavement of and exploitation by capital and to obtain the right to control production activities and the right to distribute production results, hence to form a new type of relations of production in which workers collaborate with each other. By building a universal free workers world, all mankind will share all the achievements of material and spiritual civilization. Any successful social practice is inseparable from completely theoretical guidance and the corresponding guidance and promotion of social organization. Therefore, the first thing we need to do is to make a clear definition and discussion of the basic concepts, theoretical framework and basic principles of Free Workers Movement.

2.1 Definition of Basic Concepts

We believe, to establish a basic theoretical framework, we must return to the origin of the problem-the definition of commodities, labor and management.

Since Marx, commodities have been defined as fruit of labor for exchange. The object of labor is material, but with the gradual deepening and refining of human cognition of the natural world, the cognition of material has moved from atoms, electrons and even to neutrinos. Quantum theory shows the wave-particle duality of material and other hidden attributes; humans have also entered the information age from the industrial age. The extension and connotation of material have correspondingly changed revolutionarily. Therefore, the extension of commodities should be correspondingly expanded to include all that can be used for exchange labor results with value.

With the emergence of quantum theory, material exhibits two phases: dominant and recessive, which can also be defined as Yang and Yin. Human consciousness (mind) and its products are also in the recessive (Yin) category of material. Therefore, mind and material are dialectically unified and mutually related, and man and nature also coexist harmoniously.

Labor is a human-specific activity in which humans carry out corresponding activities on the objective world through their subjective will to produce exchangeable use values. Therefore, labor includes both activities to produce tangible material and to form and create intangible materials such as knowledge and culture. Management is a production factor for individual labor force to collaborate with each other and then achieve large-scale production, including a series of activities such as R&D, planning, organization, leadership, coordination, control, adjustment and so on.

Since the social structure of human beings evolved from clan to tribe, the division of labor and distribution of production within society have run through history, and the attributes and value of commodities have become a measure. The traditional class analysis method divides the society by means of dualization, and also combines the attributes and values of commodities by binary means. We believe that it is necessary to make a historically comprehensive description of the value of commodities, hence enabling us to fully grasp its attributes, so as to make a social division of labor and distribution consistent with the nature of things. The value of commodities is reflected in three phases, namely production, sales and consumption, which can be briefly expressed by a formula, V=V(P)+V(S)+V(C). In the production phase, monetary capital plays a leading role in the entire production stage, and employs this leading role to monopolize the right to distribute the profits generated by the appreciation of the value of commodities created in the production process, by purchasing labor tools, labor sites, and hiring labor and managing and organizing production activities, which is also the root cause of social dual differentiation. In the sales process, the sales staff and related institutions commercialize the value of the commodity in the form of currency through the interpretation of the value of the commodity. In sales phase, the value of the commodity is reflected. In the process of consumption of goods, humans have generated a series of derivative demands from the consumption of commodities, which stimulated new production, and in fact, they have further created value to commodities.

In these three processes, management (including research and development), as the most creative production factor, produces value to other production factors by creating value. The value of commodity is actually generated by human creativity and the spatiotemporal attributes of commodity. That is to say, the spatiotemporal attributes of commodity allow it to have an automatically growing attribute, and human creativity and labor only realize this layer of spatiotemporal unique properties. In the past large-scale production activities, management was achieved through a management system. The management system is a comprehensive product of social, cultural, economic, and political elements. It has public attributes and is also a production tool (platform) on which the management class depends on income. By means of the monopoly of large-scale labor tools including management systems, while squeezing the labor intensity and time of laborers, the capitalists class also quietly deprive the value generated by the management system, and they also seize the value created by the temporal and spatial attributes of commodities by controlling the state machines. These three parts are all the surplus value defined by some theories.

In the era of mega-data, a series of concepts such as currency, capital, credit, and finance will be redefined. Human production and other social public activities will be completed in a collaborative manner through various public platforms built by mega-data. In the future, the management system including the state apparatus and other production factors including production tools, places, funds, etc. plus the space-time attributes of the commodities will be truly socialized, and the capital owners and management will be stripped from these public properties become pure laborers. All participants in the production process only participate as workers. All laborers are equally present in the production process and system in a collaborative manner. Labor will be free and the work unit and overall value of workers will be measured by the inner creativity and the time and space dimensions of the process. In this sense, there will be no dual social classes in the future, and only the middle class as a description of the social status will exist permanently.

2.2 The Standard of Theoretical Framework

The Workers’ Movement came along with the Industrial Revolution, and various theories of the Workers’ Movement also came into being. Most of these theories came from Marx, LaSalle, Bakunin, Proudhon, Kautsky, Bernard Shaw, Lenin, Trotsky, Burnham, and other theorists; all the theories of the contemporary workers’ movement cannot be separated from their inheritance, njfvkrmtgfb development and criticism. Based on these predecessors, the theory of Free Workers Movement, according to the characteristics of the information age, has made corresponding selection, sublation and development; therefore, our theoretical framework is also constructed in accordance with the corresponding principles.

In the long history of the labors' movement, people are always accustomed to classifying the various theories into left wing or right wing, which has resulted in numerous theoretical disputes and even brutal line struggles. Actually, each theoretician is based on his own observations of social forms and production methods and takes this as a perspective to theoretically summarize production activities to establish a corresponding theoretical system, but the basic philosophy is similar, that is, to liberate the working class from the slavery and exploitation by capital. In a social environment with high degree of production intensification or a more authoritarian ruling class, perhaps Marx, Lenin, and Trotsky’s theories are more appropriate; in a social environment with low degree of production intensification or a relatively moderate ruling class,perhaps, the theories of Lasalle, Bakunin, Proudhon, Kautsky, and Bernard Shaw are more instructive to the workers' movement; in the increasingly popular production form of industrial automation, Burnham's theory has come into existence accordingly.

When mankind enters the 21st century, production methods tend to diversify with the advent of informatization and mega-data. At the same time, some simple and repetitive labor is gradually replaced by artificial intelligence, and human labor will become more and more creative, which means individualization, and the cooperation of human labor will be freely and fairly exchanged through the platform built by mega-data. However, on the eve of history, the intensification of production just reached the historical peak. In the highly mechanized and capital-intensive manufacturing and property industries, capital owners use the monopoly of production tools to completely place the labor force in the subsidiary position of production tools for complete exploitation; in emerging e-commerce and other information industries, capital owners use the monopoly of electronic platforms and other production resources with public attributes, the exploitation of relevant employees is unprecedentedly mean; there are similar phenomena in other industries, all of which means that only fundamental mega-change can probably usher in the complete liberation of labor.

To greet the advent of the great era, the theory of "Free Workers Movement" also requires a reasonable criticism and inheritance of the original theories to develop a new theory suitable for the current situation. First of all, this theoretical foundation must be the integration of contemporary scientific achievements, based on a complete observation and understanding of the material world and human society, and a more comprehensive and accurate inspection and research of human production activities and the relations of production formed in production activities; Secondly, the analytical and discourse methods must be derived from Hegel’s dialectic philosophy, Russell and Wittgenstein’s analytical philosophy; Thirdly, according to the different production forms, the diversified adoption originates from Marx, Lasalle, Bakunin, Proudhon, Kautsky, Bernard Shaw, Lenin, Trotsky, Burnham and other theorists, and construct a parallel theory system based on different historical conditions; Finally, and the most important is the entire theoretical framework must be built on the core values of " being human-oriented, harmony between man and nature". To sum up, the theoretical framework of "Free Workers Movement" must follow four basic standards including scientific observation and analysis, a rigorous philosophical system, a variety of theoretical sources, and the core values of "being human-oriented, harmony between man and nature".

2.3 Basic Principles

According to the definition of the basic concepts established and the standards of the theoretical framework above, we will elaborate the basic principles of Free Workers Movement as follows.

In the period of industrialization in human society, due to the industrialization of production methods, the limited and non-renewable production resources, causing human to have the linearization of relations of production at the production site, the division of labor and the distribution of duality, the solution after the escalation of conflicts is often to eliminate each other as the ultimate means, and internal disputes in the workers' movement are often resolved by brutal line struggle. At the beginning of this century, due to the emergence of the Internet, mega-data processing methods have revolutionized human production and lifestyles, and humans have entered the information age accordingly. The characteristics of globalization and decentralization determine that the linear relations of production will end, and humanity will be liberated from labor and will be truly free. The emergence and development of the internet means that mankind will achieve true equality and freedom in information acquisition and processing and all of the freedom generated accordingly, the distribution of social resources will tend to be reasonable and fair, and the employment relationship will be replaced by a cooperative relationship. The structure of human society will show a dynamic rectangularization, and the middle class will become the backbone of society.

The initial stage of Free Workers Movement is to promote and popularize a series of ideologies and cultures to form influence at the community and national policy levels, and to organize workers’ joint industrial actions and other social activities, and thus to have a decisive impact on public policies; limiting the speculation of financial capital and other monopoly capital through legislation, and formulating a series of laws and rules that will help workers to share social progress and prosperity in a fair and reasonable manner, and organizing all workers to cooperate in the form of cooperatives and the exchange of labor achievements. The advanced stage of Free Workers Movement is to unite all workers into a civic autonomous community through workers’ cooperatives, trade unions, and political groups representing the economic and political interests of the workers. This community gives all members of the society equal relations, including equal distribution of property, social status, and political rights to freedom, which is achieved by the practice of concepts of equality and freedom to social cooperation and mutual love of interpersonal relationships.

The community brings together the strengths of all laborers to overthrow the exploitation and enslavement of labor by capital. All laborers can truly and fully realize their labor value, and each laborer can live a middle-class life, and then enjoy complete freedom. Workers use cooperatives as their basic production units, and at the same time use each basic cooperative unit as their basic accounting unit to form higher-level cooperatives with other cooperatives according to their production needs. Within the cooperative, every worker negotiates on an equal basis to decide on materials related to the production process, and extends the autonomous system of this production process to the organization and management of all public institutions. To achieve this goal, trade unions and other related labor groups will organize and lead a series of propaganda activities, labor consultations and other industrial actions, public policy participation, and other forms of political struggles.

The necessary conditions of Free Workers Movement is that all workers are in a highly developed production system, and the income of workers is extremely incompatible with the value created by the entire system, and the education level, professional skills and moral standards of all workers are generally improved, a diverse community environment and a mature and functioning democratic political system, that is to say, Free Workers Movement must be gradually transformed and realized through a series of social policies and a consensus of the people in a democratic social system with highly developed capitalism and extremely uneven income distribution. In areas with sufficient innate conditions, a series of ideological and cultural activities and social political activities can be used to achieve the goal in a step-by-step manner. In areas where the main conditions are already in place but some secondary conditions are not sufficient, Free Workers Movement must be created through a series of ideological and cultural activities and social, economic and political activities. The process of creating conditions is also to remove all obstacles for Free Workers Movement. The process of creating factors, therefore, will bring about alleviation or drastic social changes due to different specific circumstances, and then through Free Workers Movement will improve all factors and complete the entire transformation process within the expected time.

The highly developed production system and the wide disparity in income distribution are the main prerequisites for Free Workers Movement. The quality of workers, the community environment and the democratic political system are secondary conditions, which can be derived from Free Workers Movement when the main prerequisites are met. In most cases, a large part of the early work of Free Workers Movement is to improve the secondary conditions, especially the general improvement of workers’ moral standards and the mature functioning democratic political system, which takes a certain amount of time and social costs to develop. Relatively speaking, the educational level and vocational skills of workers and the social environment can reach the standards in a relatively short period of time through Free Workers Movement.

Morality is a standard of behavior to adjust the evaluation and judgment of the behavior between others and themselves good and evil, honor or disgrace, appropriateness or inappropriateness, based on the values of a certain society or class (life form), public opinion, traditional customs and the power of people's inner belief (production capacity) . With established certain standards of good and evil and code of conduct, it restrains people's mutual relations and personal behaviors, regulates social relations, and together with the law, protects the normal order of social life. It runs through all aspects of social life, such as social morality, marriage and family ethics, and professional ethics. The core of morality is that all beliefs are melted into social customs and traditions through time, and play a self-regulatory role on the individual’s conscious behavior, that is, the collective subconsciousness. The improvement and perfection of all social moral beliefs is an important prerequisite for Free Workers Movement. Hence, Free Workers Movement supports all religious and spiritual cultivation activities compatible with universal values.

The ultimate goal of Free Workers Movement is to build a socialist society with the middle class as the main body. The two characteristics of the information age - globalization and decentralization determine that only when Free Workers Movement is carried out completely and thoroughly in the world can we truly build a socialist society with the middle class as the main body. The reason is that in the context of globalization, the circulation of financial capital is swifter and faster than the flow of labor. Only by winning Free Workers Movement in the world can a series of related policies be adopted to remove tariff barriers and build global labor cooperation platform through mega-data to exchange labor achievements. Only in this way can we build a socialist society with complete labor freedom. That is to say, Free Workers Movement can achieve partial victory locally, but only if Free Workers Movement is carried out globally can a complete victory be achieved. Therefore, laborers around the world must unite and work together for freedom of labor.

3 The Objective and Mission of Australian Chinese Workers  Association

According to the basic principles of Free Workers Movement and to combine the "The report on the development of Chinese community in Australia 2018" compiled by Australian Chinese Workers Association, the vision and mission of Australian Chinese Workers Association are described as follows.

3.1 The Goals of the Middle Class

Middle class are mostly engaged in mental work, or technology-based manual labor, mainly dependent on wages, salary or self-employed small business to make a living, and generally well-educated, with professional knowledge and strong professional ability and corresponding family consumption ability; have a certain leisure, pursue quality of life. In general, they also have certain rights of management and control over their labor and working objects. At the same time, most of them are good citizens, and have moral awareness and corresponding cultivation. In other words, in terms of economic status, political status, and social and cultural status, they are all at the middle level of the current society. According to the relevant data of the "The report on the development of Chinese community in Australia 2018" , there are about 1.2 million Chinese in Australia. Among the five perspective of education, income, employment, political participation and participation in other social and public activities, and religious beliefs, except that the education level is higher than the national average level, the other four aspects are more or less lower than the average level.

Therefore, for the Chinese community in Australia to become the middle class in general, a relatively clear community development plan is needed to provide corresponding policy guidance. First of all, Australian Chinese community organizations should make corresponding transformations and improvements. At present, most of the Australian Chinese community organizations are friendship organizations in the form of fellow villagers' associations and chambers of Commerce, and fail to establish in-depth links with Australian local social resources. Therefore, they can not guide the Chinese community to establish contact with the mainstream society through the organization level or the channel level, so as to improve the participation of politics and other social public life; secondly, within the Australian Chinese community as an immigrant community, the employment scope is often narrower, limited at some traditional Chinese industries such as catering, clothing, accounting, and other service industries, and it need Chinese community organizations to provide effective counseling in employment and internships; another point is that the religious beliefs of the Chinese community also should be culturally encouraged, and support needs to be encouraged in establishing religious and other forms of spiritual cultivation or civic awareness training institutions in Chinese communities. The main task of Australian Chinese Workers Association is to unite all Chinese community organizations and relevant Australian government agencies to guide the Chinese community to achieve the middle class goal.

3.2 Free Trade Doctrine and Proactive Financial and Fiscal Policy

Globalization is an irresistible historical trend in the new century. Following this trend must it be prosperous, and the ultimate result of the reverse is recession or even extinction. Only free trade can allow all countries in the world to enjoy the fruits of globalization on an equal and mutually beneficial basis. As one of the leading countries in the Asia-Pacific region, Australia itself has many favorable conditions to embrace free trade to keep Australia's economy on the fast track of sustainable prosperity and development. Although Australia’s diplomatic relations with China are at a low ebb due to the great plague in 2020 and other international situations, we always firmly believe that Australia can give full play to its dominant position in the Asia Pacific economic chain and maximize its strategic development goals only by implementing free trade doctrine.

Australia can only upgrade its economy through active free trade agreements and maintaining joint economic and trade exchanges and cooperation channels with all emerging economies, including China, so that Australia's economy is full of vitality and continues enjoying prosperity and development. The Australian Chinese Workers Association comes from the Chinese community in Australia, which has a natural blood relationship with China and its public diplomacy and foreign trade channels. We are willing to undertake the historical responsibility for promoting economic and trade exchanges, and cooperation between Australia and China. We will actively host and co-organize a series of related lectures, seminars and forums to complete this historical task.

Given that Australia's economic capacity is relatively small, there may be some negatively side effects due to free trade, and the government should adopt proactive fiscal and financial policies to make some corrections or adjustments. Low interest rates and low exchange rates will build a firewall to offset the side effects of free trade agreements for the Australian economy. At the same time, the government must support some prudent and sustainable large-scale infrastructure development projects and industrial development projects by issuing public bonds and quantitative monetary easing, so as to promote industrial upgrading and regional development, and thus enhance economy and employment rates.

3.3 Corporatism

Corporatism embodies the uniqueness of Australian democracy, maintains the tenacity, harmony and unity of Australian society, and is also the key to resolve Australian labor disputes, which can effectively alleviate conflicts between labour and capital. We advocate that the realization of social interests must be established on a sustainable basis. In order to avoid conflicts and disorder, the government must play an authoritative role, control the entire social interest system, and limit the number of interest groups, then realize orderly interaction through the tripartite coordination mechanism of trade union, government and capital owners.

The Fair Work Commission is the core of the implementation and protection of corporatism. The committee has a balanced composition of representatives and works independently. It is responsible for supervising labor rights under the Fair Work Act , conducting mandatory arbitration of labor disputes, determining standards of working conditions, and reviewing the minimum wage annually. The Australian Chinese Workers Association strongly supports the Fair Work Commission of Australia to perform its duties. We advocate that when resolving labor disputes and other related matters, community trade unions, enterprise trade unions and industry trade unions have equal powers. Representatives of the community trade unions and enterprise trade unions, besides the trade unions, must also be included in the representatives of the Australian fair work Commission.

Only when the government officially releases economic policies, labor-management policies, and other related policies before fully consulting with all levels of society to reach a consensus, can the entire society maintain harmony and unity. The Australian Chinese Workers Association appeals to the government to regularly hold the highest national economic conference jointly attended by the government, enterprises, trade unions (including industry trade unions, enterprise trade unions, community trade unions) and other social groups to discuss economic policies, labor-management policies and other related policies, seeking compromise and cooperation, especially labor and capital compromise, to promote the steady development of the country's overall economy.

3.4 Proactive Social Welfare Policy and Other Social Wealth Secondary Distribution Policy

The welfare policy brings security, harmony and peace to the society. Maintaining social stability, promoting economic prosperity, improving the welfare of ordinary workers and improving their living standards are the goals pursued by Australian Chinese Workers Association. To achieve these goals, we advocate positive welfare policies; the government must provide subsidies to promote and strengthen occupational education and training to improve working skills; the government must organize various welfare services to reduce fluctuations in the workers’ family living standards; the government must provide free medical care to help the disabled Workers restore their labor skills; the government must provide targeted social welfare subsidies to the general population through tax adjustments and other financial means to support their families' necessary consumption expenditure and self-improvement of working skills.

3.5 Diversified Society

Multiculturalism is the foundation stone of Australia as a nation, and is a concrete manifestation of the common enjoyment of democracy among all ethnic groups living in Australia. On the basis of a common social system and legal system, English is recognized as a universal language, and all ethnic groups living in Australia must equally enjoy all economic and political rights. All Australians should enjoy basic human rights and oppose discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion or culture. All Australians should enjoy equal opportunities in life and equally fair access to public resources managed by the government on behalf of the community. All Australians must have full opportunities to participate in making decisions that directly affect them. All Australians should be able to develop and use their potential to contribute to Australia’s economic and social development. All Australians should have the opportunity to improve their ability to speak English fluently and the government must adopt effective methods and provide sufficient resources to help ethnic communities overcome language barriers. All Australians should be able to develop and enjoy their cultural traditions. Australian institutions should be able to understand and reflect the diversity of the Australian community’s culture. In government agencies such as immigration, labor, welfare, health and education, special agencies or officials must be set up to take charge of ethnic affairs.

Australian Chinese Workers Association strongly supports the inherited rights of indigenous peoples to the land, and also supports the government to set up funds to help indigenous people improve their living conditions and education. At the same time, it calls on the government to provide sufficient and effective funds and projects to help new immigrants to successfully overcome the difficulties in the first two years. We believe that multiculturalism can not only advance the country’s politics, but also promote economic development and prosperity.

3.6 Joint public decision-making mechanisms

Australia has very well-organized government agencies and community organizations at all levels. Such institutions, from the religious synod to the parliament, are all established according to democratic principles. The Australian Chinese Workers Association will continue to encourage outstanding young leaders who support the Chinese community to actively participate in community public affairs and political affairs by organizing a "Youth Leadership Campaign"; at the same time, we will organize various types of events in the Chinese community in conjunction with relevant Australian government agencies and parliaments. Various types of lectures ar held to popularize the basic knowledge about Australian government agencies and related systems and encourage the Chinese community to actively participate in public issues and give a collective voice for the Chinese community; furthermore, the Australian Chinese Workers Association encourages and supports the development of various local development- related Forums, the establishment of think tanks, relevant public lobbying agencies and even the creation of political groups to increase the direct and indirect participation of the Chinese community in public policies at all levels in Australia.

4 Practice in Australia

In order to realize our objectives and missions, the Australian Chinese Workers Association has carried out a series of practices in Australia that are conducive to the Chinese community and the entire society of Australia in accordance with the relevant objectives since the first day of its establishment. This paper summarizes and classifies them according to their nature and significance.

Youth leadership campaigns and other training activities. The Australian Chinese Workers Association has held one or two terms of Youth Leadership Campaign every year since 2014. Through cooperation with relevant university student associations, industry organizations,community organizations and relevant news media, each term recruits a group of outstanding Chinese youth representatives to participate in Youth Leadership Campaign, inviting members of Parliament, community leaders and relevant industry elites as mentors to train participants on public participation awareness, community organization operations and industry -leading knowledge, to help outstanding youth leaders of Chinese community establishing political participation awareness, leadership and improvement of associated vocational skills. It has been eight years, and a large number of outstanding young Australian Chinese have made outstanding achievements in various industries and public service fields. In the meantime, we also jointly hold seminars with various government agencies including the Fairtrading NSW, Multicultural Department, the Immigration Bureau, the Fair Work Ombudsman, and various levels of parliament in the Chinese community to help the Chinese community master relevant laws and regulations and safeguard their reasonable rights.

Publishing, publicity activities and media. The Australian Chinese Workers Association established an institutional publication, "Asia-Pacific Humanities", in 2014. Through this publication, we promoted and implemented Australia’s multicultural policy in the Chinese community and reported relevant people and events in the Chinese community. In 2016, following the first public memorial service in the history for the Chinese Victims during Gold Rush, in order to summarize the history and look forward to the future, we published "The End of the History of the Anti-Chinese Policy in Australia", and donated to the National Library of Australia and various state libraries, community libraries, university libraries and community organizations, as well as related institutions, as well as to the Australian parliamentarians involved in writing articles and related scholars and community leaders, including the Beijing Library , Zhongshan Library, Fudan University, Sun Yat-sen University and other well-known libraries have also accepted our donations and put them on the shelves; and held a series of publicity activities to promote the concept of the book --- adherence to multiculturalism and active participation in public diplomatic activity between Australia and China, safeguarding the rights of free and equal development of Chinese community. In 2018, as a commemoration of the 200th anniversary of the Chinese settlement in Australia, the Australian Chinese Workers Association compiled the "The report on the development of Chinese community in Australia in 2018". The blue book has a total of 398 pages of nearly 500,000 words. The main body is composed of four parts, namely the general report, survey report, community study and chronicles, and consists of 13 sub-topics on the family composition of the Chinese community in Australia, education, employment, investment, home ownership, marriage, pension, public health, multiculturalism,religious life and and the other types of community life. The first thorough and comprehensive research and analysis has far-reaching historical significance and social value. In order to provide comprehensive and accurate data and information on the Australian Chinese community to Australian policymakers, researchers and other relevant parties, we presented this blue book to members of the Australian Parliament, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, and the relevant institutions and individuals, including the Australian Library of Parliament, the National Library, and nearly 2,000 university libraries in China and Australia, and carried out extensive publicity activities in the Chinese community. In addition, we have also registered the accounts and channels of the Australian Chinese Workers Association on WeChat, Weibo, YouTube and other social media to actively promote our ideologies.

Public memorial service and the establishment of monuments. On March 21th, 2015 (Australia Harmony Day and United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Race Discrimination), we held the first ever Public Memorial Service for the Chinese victims during Gold Rush in the Auditorium of Parliament of New South Wales, Australia, which was widely supported by the Australian and Chinese government,CFMEU Mining and Energy Division, and the broad support of many Chinese religious and community agencies. on October 9th, 2016 (Double Ninth Festival in China), we established the first monument in the history at Rookwood Cemetery for the Chinese victims during Gold Rush, inviting famous monks to lead Barbuda ceremony, Australian parliament members, union leaders and other community leaders and representatives from various community organizations to hold the grand opening ceremony. We also held large-scale anniversary ceremonies for the monument on Double Ninth Festival in 2017 and 2018 respectively, and we have been sending representatives to commemorate the monument on the Tomb Sweeping Day in subsequent years.

Anti-racial discrimination and other related demonstrations. We actively participated in every march and demonstration related to anti-racial discrimination, namely, the demonstration against Palmer’s anti-Chinese words and deeds in 2014, the continuous demonstrations against the amendment of Clause 18 of Racial Discrimination Act in 2015 and 2016 Demonstration, in October 2019 during the Australian Labor Day holiday, the demonstration in Sydney organized by us in conjunction with other trade unions while celebrating the 70^th anniversary of the founding of PRC, and in June 2020, the demonstration in Sydney in support of American African Floyd and people of color all over the world.

Multicultural activities. Since 2014, we have sent a theatrical team every year to actively participate in the Chinese New Year celebrations organized by the Sydney City Council and other local governments. At the same time, we also invite other theatrical groups in the Chinese community to organize the May 1st Labor Day Cultural Festival. Large-scale publicity activities will also host corresponding theatrical and artistic performances. We also actively organize and participate in religious activities such as Nantian Temple and Lingyan Mountain Temple.

Chinese card and other convenient services. On February 10th, 2016, the activity of collecting online signatures for popular Chinese cards was initiated, facilitating oversea Chinese returning home with much more convenience. It received the support of many media and the Chinese community. Nearly 30,000 people paid attention and supported, and we also received support from a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), who submitted formal proposal to CPPCC to require the country to grant overseas Chinese with popular Chinese cards even further recognition of dual nationality. The state attached great importance to this proposal. In October 2016, it requested relevant departments to discuss the trial plan. In August 2017, Guangdong and Shanghai first tried out the five-year temporary Chinese card, and in 2018, the five-year temporary Chinese card was implemented nationwide, which was welcomed and supported by the majority of overseas Chinese. We have also organized volunteers in Australia to visit and console the elderly and help the elderly fill out relevant forms and other community convenience services.

Political Participation. We have trained a large number of outstanding Chinese youths through youth leadership campaigns, and they have actively participated in various local social and public activities; we have also integrated Chinese ethnic communities into local public life by organizing volunteers for elections at all levels; in 2015, the “Free Workers Movement” was launched, and the Free Workers Party was formed in 2017 to participate in the election activities at all levels.

Cooperate and interact with other trade unions and community organizations in Australia. From the first day of the establishment of the Australian Chinese Workers Association, we have received support and assistance from CFMEU, AMWU, NSW Unions and other trade unions as well. We have also actively cooperated with all of the trade unions in Australia. we have also established good cooperation and interaction with Sydney Alliance, Queensland Alliance, Australian Fabians, and related institutions and organizations including the Christian Church and the Catholic Church; we also have a large number of local Chinese community organizations in Australia established and maintained a long-term cooperation and interactive relationship, including all kinds of associations and organizations such as hometown associations, chambers of commerce, poetry associations, literary groups, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. Through these countless and complicated associations, we have been promoting the concept of "Free Workers Movement" in Australia.

5 Outlook

Recalling the eight years of ups and downs, we uphold the objectives and mission established by the basic principles of "Free Workers Movement". We have dedicated our passion, perseverance and will in Australia for eight years to overcome all difficulties, having obtained prominent achievements, and we have faith that our historical mission will be successfully completed in the coming future.
