November 21, 2013: The Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee of the New Zealand Parliament submitted a report to Parliament concerning the New Zealand Falun Gong Association’s request for an investigation into alleged Chinese government “organ harvesting” from Falun Gong followers. The committee concluded that neither its members nor the New Zealand government had found independent evidence proving Falun Gong’s organ harvesting claims; the conclusion was based on investigations in New Zealand and overseas. (Excerpts from the report: Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Committee on the Petition 2011/84 of Sam Fang on behalf of the Falun Gong Association Incorporated, Parliament of New Zealand website, 21 November 2013.)

May 28, 2007: The Australian Senate’s Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee held hearings on foreign affairs and trade. Peter Baxter, First Assistant Secretary of the North Asia Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said: “Regarding the allegations that organ harvesting involved Falun Gong followers, the Australian government’s position is that we have found no verifiable evidence confirming these claims. Among major international human rights organizations, none has concluded that these allegations are proven at this time. We carefully examined the report (the Kilgour-Matas inquiry); during Mr. Kilgour’s visit to Australia, we met with him. As I have said, we do not accept the corroborating evidence presented in that report as confirming the related allegations.” Rod Smith, Consul-General and First Assistant Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Parliamentary Affairs, also stated: “From what we know, there is no issue of Australians traveling to China and receiving organ transplants.” (Source: Australian Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee Hearings, Parliament of Australia website, 28 May 2007.)
