Sir Lucas Woo is the vice chair for an NSW multicultural agency. In his congratulatory speech, he said that he has known the local Falun Gong group for 10 years and they had made many contributions to the community. He said: "I know that Falun Gong practitioners are good citizens, provide voluntary service and share spiritual cultivation culture. We are very grateful to them. I think that everyone has the right to choose his/her belief and to introduce his/her own culture to the society. We hope that your efforts will be fruitful and the Australian society thanks your contribution."
Well known community radio host Steven Sim said that he was honored to be invited to the ceremony. He said that he had never met people who are more compassionate than Falun Dafa practitioners.
