Denying the historical and ongoing persecution of the Hazara people is deeply harmful and completely unacceptable—especially from someone in public office. Misinformation not only disrespects the victims and survivors, but also enables further violence and discrimination. We call on Zahid Safi to take responsibility, issue a public apology, and resign from parliament. Australia must stand for truth, justice, and human rights for all
Atifa supported: Zahid Safi is unfit to represent the people of Bruce in the Australian Federal ParliamentAs a Hazara, I am deeply hurt and disappointed by Zahid Safi’s 2021 submission. It ignores the reality of what Hazara people have gone through — decades of discrimination, violence, and persecution. His words show a clear lack of understanding, compassion, and respect for our community. I call on the Liberal Party to take a clear stand: either dis-endorse Mr. Safi or demand that he issue a full apology and withdraw from the election. We deserve leaders who stand for truth, inclusion, and human rights.
Mustafa supported: Zahid Safi is unfit to represent the people of Bruce in the Australian Federal ParliamentAs a concerned resident of Bruce, I believe Zahid Safi is not a suitable candidate to represent our diverse and inclusive community in federal parliament. In 2021, he co-authored a submission to a parliamentary inquiry that disturbingly denied the ethnic persecution of the Hazara people in Afghanistan a community that has suffered deeply under Taliban rule and one that many of our neighbours here in Bruce belong to. This submission falsely claimed that Hazaras were not targeted for their ethnicity and even twisted credible human rights reports to portray them as aggressors rather than victims. It’s deeply offensive and out of step with the lived experiences of many Afghan-Australians in our electorate, especially the Hazara community. His views dismiss their trauma and suggest a lack of empathy and understanding that is essential for any public servant. On top of that, his campaign has already been marred by controversy, including the sacking of his campaign manager for abusive online behavior targeting women and political opponents. These incidents raise serious questions about the values and integrity of the team he leads. Our community deserves a representative who will unite us, not one whose record shows division and disregard for vulnerable groups.

Maisam supported: Zahid Safi is unfit to represent the people of Bruce in the Australian Federal ParliamentSafi’s comment that Hazaras are not targeted because of their race is deeply offensive and historically false. In the 1890s, Abdur Rahman Khan committed genocide against the Hazara people—massacring tens of thousands, selling others into slavery, and forcibly displacing over half the population—simply because they were Hazara. Denying this history is an act of erasure, and someone who ignores our suffering is unfit to represent the people of Bruce.
