The Prime Minister of Tibet

To the Novotel Airport Hotel to a small gathering to hear the newly elected Prime Minister of the Tibetan Government in Exile.

He was preceeded by Sonam Norbu Dagpo, the representative of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in Australasia.

Lobsang Sangay is a Harvard educated Tibetan who was recently elected Kalon Tripa, or Prime Minister.

He spoke, very eloquently, for an hour on how he was elected to the position (which has taken on all the secular obligations of the Dalai Lama) and the current situation with the Chinese and how bad things are in Tibet.

Afterwards he posed for photos with members of the Tibetan Queensland Community.
