【大紀元2012年10月29日訊】大紀元新聞集團在澳大利亞南澳成立分社，發行阿德雷德版週報，首刊將於10月26日免費發行，發行量每週5千份，25個發行點覆蓋阿德雷德主要華人聚居地區，外加送報至近200家中餐館和華人商店，讓南澳有華人的地方就有大紀元。這是《大紀元時報》繼悉尼、墨爾本、布里斯本、柏斯之後，在澳洲營運的第五家分社。

阿德雷德分社社長張必光先生說：「作為大紀元報系的新成員，阿德雷德大紀元時報將一如既往秉承正義、獨立的精神，公正報導時事，並提供讀者更多與自己生活相關的本地信息，幫助大家儘快融入當地主流社會。」張先生堅持服務於大紀元時報11年，他說：「從99年開始，海外媒體報導中國大陸方面的新聞在慢慢地變化，對於中國的消息，海外的華人幾乎只能聽到一個聲音，特別是對一些敏感話題如對人權、信仰的迫害，這方面的報導基本上就沒有了。」

為了讓阿德雷德的華人有機會了解中國的真實情況，張先生他們購買墨爾本版大紀元報，義務把報紙分發到阿德雷德一些商舖、餐館、圖書館和購物中心。大紀元時報是2003年全球首先報導薩斯病疫情的媒體，領先全球三年關注毒奶事件，首家對Google退出中國等重大事件作出報導，使大紀元很快晉升為世界級主流媒體，特別是今年王立軍事件以後，大紀元對中國政局動盪的準確預測和分析報導，使大紀元成為世界中文媒體報導中國局勢的風向標。

在全球媒體日益萎縮、紛紛裁員甚至停刊的大環境下，大紀元逆流而上，一枝獨秀。目前，大紀元時報共有19個語種，全球近40家分社，記者站遍布60多個國家和地區。大紀元時報的發行量一路飄升，阿德雷德的大紀元讀者人數也不斷攀升。阿德雷德大紀元時報也在此時順勢而立，應時而生。阿德雷德現在每週發放5千份中文報，覆蓋阿德雷德市區及周圍地區，南及Flinders、Woodcroft，東到Marden，西至West Lake，北達 Salisbury 。

張先生表示此次創辦阿德雷德版，就是為了更好地服務於當地華人。「我們希望大家能看到一些真實的消息。除了國際上的、中國大陸的、還有香港、台灣發生的新聞外，我們也希望把本地發生的一些與華人有關的事情告訴他們，這麼多年，大紀元時報已經成了當地華人生活的一部分，阿德雷德大紀元時報也已開通當地廣告業務。」他最後還表示：「為了更好地服務於讀者，懇請讀者提出寶貴意見。並藉此機會感謝讀者們的支持與鼓勵。」

南澳各界政要給《大紀元時報》阿德雷德報社的致賀信原文及譯文如下：

It is with great joy that I learned about the launch of the South Australian edition of The Epoch Times on Oct 26th 2012.
In this age of information, you are playing the necessary role of telling the stories of those with voices that are screaming to be heard but silenced by their oppressors.
I commend you for your tireless work in bringing truth to the fore against the ever rushing tide of media lies, especially of those by the Chinese Government, and your brave and fierce protection of freedom of speech for those who have none.
May you long continue to spread the crucial message of freedom of democracy to the people of South Australia and the world as a whole.

獲悉南澳《大紀元時報》將於2012年10月26日創刊，我欣喜不已。
在這信息時代，《大紀元》扮演著不可缺失的角色：對於那些想奮力發出聲音，卻不幸被殘暴的當權者壓制的人們，《大紀元》在不懈地講述著他們的故事。
對於某些媒體所製造的不真實的新聞，尤其是中共政府操控的媒體所捏造的鋪天謊言，你們不倦地講清真相，勇敢地捍衛言論自由。對此我由衷地讚賞。
願你們持之以恆地向南澳及全世界民眾報導新聞，傳播民主自由的重要信息。
