(Minghui.org) The annual Canning Show was held at the Canning Exhibition Centre in Western Australia on November 5, 2026. Falun Dafa practitioners, who were invited to participate, played the waist drums, introduced Falun Dafa, and raised awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution.

Melissa Nabbs and Connor Nabbs said Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are powerful.

Melissa said she felt positive energy at the Falun Gong booth and added, “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance are very positive and strong. We, too, believe in spirituality.

“We should spread that goodness around so the world can be better. The more we learn, the more we can do for others. That’s what I want my children to be able to see. If we are positive and send out love, it will come back to us ten-fold, and their children will have more love and experience, and that will just keep going and going.”

Connor, who works in construction, said, “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance are very important. Everyone wants some control over their life, and I believe that freedom is a big part of that. We should all have the right to freedom in our lives and to make our own decisions.

To the practitioners in China, Connor said, “They should definitely keep up their practice, and they should definitely have the right to practice meditation and Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance, to keep that going within themselves, and just for them to continue their practice as they move forward, so they can build on that in the future.

“It’s definitely important to spread these beliefs [Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance] throughout the different countries. And that, in turn, works its way around and makes its way back to the people [in China]. They can see that people around the world do care and there is hope for them. So they can move forward throughout their lives.”

Connor said that the exercise demonstration was very interesting. He took some flyers and said he would learn more about Falun Dafa.

Nari (Minghui.org)

Nari, a performer at the show, said she had already heard about the persecution and that she came to the booth to sign the petition. She said, “The organ harvesting is absolutely horrible. It is not OK. It is a direct violation of peoples’ rights. I want [the Falun Dafa practitioners in China] to know we are all supporting you and there is hope. We are all signing the petitions. We are trying our best from where we are.

“I think Falun Dafa’s principles are gorgeous. I’m glad there are such peaceful movements still in the world we live in. I think we should all have hope.”

Introducing Falun Dafa in the Countryside

Practitioners in Western Australia were invited to participate in the 80th Gidgegannup Agricultural Show on October 30, 2026. The show is a popular annual rural festivity. Many people learned about Falun Dafa and the CCP’s human rights abuses.

Zane said after learning about Falun Dafa’s principles, “The biggest battle in life is with ourselves. We are always at war with ourselves. We can’t change the world; we can only change from within. We have always got to look within ourselves. The cause is not outside of ourselves. Nothing is outside. To go far, we have to start near. It’s all here,” he said as he pointed to his heart.

Bianca said that Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance are important and that today’s world absolutely needs them.

Dianne added, “It’s important for the world to know and see what you are doing. I think that everybody should have the opportunity to be healthy and open to do what they want to do.”

Sharon and Brian (Minghui.org)

Sharon and Brian said they had heard about Falun Dafa in the past. Brian said that following the principles [Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance] is clean and honest and that the persecution is truly sad: “It’s a terrible thing. It shouldn’t be done, but that is typical of China.”

Patt and Frank (Minghui.org)

Patt and Frank said they felt the positive and peaceful energy emanating from the Falun Dafa practitioners as they did the exercises, so they stopped to find out more about Falun Dafa.

They had heard of Falun Dafa before, but it was the first time they had gotten to see practitioners do the exercises. Both Patt and Frank said they would also like to learn more about the practice and to try it out for themselves.

Conveying his message to the practitioners in China, Frank said, “Keep going, be strong.” Patt said, “Be peaceful. I hope you get many more supporters.”

Josephine Flynn said, “I feel the world needs a lot of compassion and kindness. I feel it’s really important. I like to show other people compassion, and it’s a really big part of my life. I show compassion to my friends, my family, and anyone that needs it.”

Neil Mills (second on right) and other supporters of the One Nation Party (Minghui.org)

Neil Mills, a supporter of the One Nation Party, signed the petition after learning about the CCP’s persecution and transnational repression. He said, “This [persecution] is horrible, and we want to stop it.”

Neil and his friends all agreed with Falun Dafa’s principles. Neil said, “I don’t think that Falun Dafa’s principles hurt anyone. It’s all about freedom and having control over your own body. I think they call it bodily sovereignty. I think these principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance are important things. We should all embrace Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance because they are what every person wants. Let’s support them one hundred percent.”
