预防犯罪小组安全社区协会主席David Yang告诉人群：“我们在这里向政府传达，够了就够了。”
“We are here to convey to the government that enough is enough,” David Yang, chair of Safe Communities Association, part of the Crime Prevention Group, told the crowd.
“最近在Papatoetoe的一家珠宝店发生的抢劫案和对Pakuranga 一名中国男孩的袭击促使我们所有人团结起来。”
“The recent robbery at a jewellery store in Papatoetoe and the attack on a Chinese boy in Pakuranga prompted all of us to come out in solidarity.

“我们的主要要求是将刑事责任的最低年龄从现有的18岁降至16岁，并为严重年轻罪犯的父母引入刑事责任。”
“Our main demands are reducing the minimum age of criminal responsibility to 16 years (from the existing 18), and introducing criminal liability for parents of serious young offenders.
“我们已经把这些交给了今天在场的国家党议员，她向我们保证，他们将与执政联盟一起处理这件事。”
“We have put these to the National Party MPs present here today, who have assured us they will take it up with the ruling coalition.”

国家党排名议员Nancy Lu坚称，政府专注于恢复法律和秩序。
National Party list MP Nancy Lu insisted the government is focused on restoring law and order.
她说，自12月以来，国会司法特别委员会已经通过了16项法案。
“The Parliamentary justice select committee has gone through 16 bills since December,” she said.
“因此，在这个领域进行了很多工作，这向罪犯发出了一个明确的信号，即我们对违法者零容忍。虽然情况正在好转，但确实需要时间。”
“So a lot of work has been going on in this space, which gives a clear signal to criminals that we have zero tolerance for people breaking laws. While things are getting better, it does take time.”
也参加抗议活动的ACT党领袖David Seymour表示同意。
ACT Party leader David Seymour, who was also at the protest, agreed.

“今天抗议的人真的觉得他们没有被听到。我在这里告诉他们，我们正在倾听并采取行动。”
The people protesting today are really feeling they are not being heard. I am here to tell them we are listening and acting on it.
“在我们掌权的七个月里，我们取消了对文化报告的资助，引入了改变《量刑法》的法律，重新引入了恢复三振的法律，增加了监狱容量，引入了严重的年轻罪犯类别，启动了新兵训练营的试点，改变了警察的优先事项，并增加了警察人数。因此，我们做了很多事情，其中大多数需要时间才能显示结果。”
“In the seven months we have been in power, we have de-funded cultural reports, introduced laws to change the Sentencing Act, reintroduced laws to bring back three-strikes, increased the prison capacity, introduced a serious young offenders category, started a pilot of boot camps, change the priorities of police as well as increase their numbers.
西摩重复了ACT的竞选承诺，将最低刑事责任年龄降至17岁。
“So we have done a lot of things, most of which will take time (to show results).”
“我们发起了将刑事责任年龄降低到17岁的运动。我们现在参与的政府尚未同意。但这仍然是我们的政策，我们未来将继续推动这项政策。”
Seymour repeated ACT’s campaign promise to reducing the minimum age of criminal responsibility to 17
Seymour的国会同事和ACT排名议员Parmjeet Parmar承诺将抗议者的声音带到蜂巢（指国会）。
Seymour’s Parliamentary colleague and ACT list MP Parmjeet Parmar promised to take the voice of the protesters to the Beehive.
他说：“我们在这里确保他们的声音很重要，并被带到国会。”
“We are here to ensure their voices matter and is taken to the Parliament.”

工党代表Te Atatū的议员Phil Twyford指出，他不支持降低最低刑事责任年龄的要求，但表示：“我完全赞成尽我们所能，包括酌情修改法律，以有效地停止重复犯罪和降低犯罪率。”
Labour Party’s MP for Te Atatū Phil Twyford noted he does not support the demand for reducing the minimum age of criminal responsibility, but said, “I am all in favour of doing everything we can, including changing the laws, wherever appropriate, to do things which will be effective in stopping repeating offending and bringing the crime rate down.”
“国家党推行简单的保险杠贴纸解决方案，并严厉打击犯罪言论。但自从他们上台以来，犯罪率一直没有下降。这告诉我们（减少犯罪）需要一个更深思熟虑和更智能的方法。”
“The National Party campaigned on simplistic bumper sticker solutions and get tough on crime rhetoric. But crime hasn’t decreased ever since they came to power. ”
This tells us this (reduction in crime) needs a more thoughtful and intelligent approach.”
一些抗议者评论了最近据称对16岁的Jason Luo的种族主义袭击，他在乘坐公共汽车时遭到袭击。
Some of the protesters commented on the recent alleged racist attack on 16-year-old Jason Luo who was assaulted while travelling on a bus.
在奥克兰东部生活了10年的Cici Xie表示，近年来犯罪情况已经恶化。
Cici Xie, who has been living in east Auckland for 10 years, said the crime situation has got worse in recent years.
她说：“我觉得坐公交车再也不安全了。”
“I don’t feel safe taking a bus any more,” she said.
住在Remuera的Lilian Ouyang补充说：“作为一名新西兰华人，现在当我女儿上大学时，我每天都担心她的安全。我们希望政府确保这样的事件不再发生。”
Lilian Ouyang, who lives in Remuera, added: “As a Chinese New Zealander, I worry for my daughter’s safety every day now when she goes to the university. We want the government to make sure incidents like this never happen again.”
国家党议员Nancy Lu呼吁每个人在新西兰面临种族主义时大声疾呼。
National MP Lu called on everyone to speak up when they face racism in New Zealand.
她说：“站起来大声谈论它。我们所有人都应该在这个我们都热爱的国家感到安全。只有当我们团结起来谈论它时，事情才会改变。”
“Stand up and talk loud about it. All of us deserve to feel safe in this country, which we all love.
“Only when we unite to talk about it, things will change.”

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Fellow Members of the Chinese Communities in New Zealand,
Today, we gather with a shared purpose and a burning determination. We stand united, driven by the outrage and pain that has swept through our community following the recent violent incident on an Auckland bus. This despicable act has not only shaken the foundation of our society’s safety and stability but has also left innocent individuals scarred, inflicting a deep wound on our expatriate community.
**Rallying Behind the Victims**
To the innocent victims and their families, we extend our deepest sympathy and unwavering support. We cannot fathom the immense pain and sorrow you are enduring, but please know that our hearts are with you. We wish you a speedy recovery and a swift return to normal life.
**Saluting the Courageous**
We must honor the bravery of the young students who resisted the attack and the two men who courageously stood up for justice. Your actions are a beacon of hope, showcasing the strength and resilience inherent in our community.
**Demanding Action and Justice**
We stand here to make our voices heard, urging the police to take immediate and effective measures:
– Swiftly solve this case and bring the perpetrators to justice.
– Impose severe punishments on those responsible for this heinous act.
– Strengthen legislative measures to prevent and sanction violent behavior.
– Ensure strict enforcement of the law and uphold judicial fairness.
We also call on the police and government transportation departments to:
– Guarantee passenger safety.
– Increase patrols and police presence in public areas.
– Enhance surveillance and response measures in public transportation and crowded locations.
**Championing Public Safety**
We advocate for improved communication and collaboration between the police and the community. We demand enhanced public safety measures, including surveillance systems, security personnel, and early warning systems. Public awareness of personal safety must be elevated through comprehensive publicity and education.
**Unity and Cooperation**
Ladies and Gentlemen, we firmly believe that through our collective efforts, we can overcome evil with righteousness and rebuild a safe and stable living environment. Together, we will maintain community safety and harmony.
“As we stand together against violence and adversity, we emphasize the vital importance of community unity and mutual support. By actively participating, resisting violence, and caring for one another, we can foster a stronger, more resilient community. Let us unite in solidarity, look out for one another, and build a community that thrives on love, care, and collective strength.”
Thank you.
