Immigrants

Rewind to 1950s Australia, when an influx of Italian immigrants helped build our country. Hardworking working immigrants poured concrete slabs, built timber frames, and constructed double-brick homes that still stand today, despite their now outdated facades.
Inside these homes, the air was filled with fresh, comforting aroma of slow-cooked Italian meals, lovingly prepared and shared around the dinner table by the nuclear family. What a time to be alive!
Years later, many of the children of these hardworking immigrants went on to become doctors, educators, builders, labourers, and architects, continuing to shape the fabric of this nation just as their parents and grandparents had done.
Fast forward to the 2020s, and the skills of Italian immigrants are no longer valued in Australia. Well-built double-brick homes have been replaced by stacked (quickly) and often poorly constructed veneer shoeboxes. Slow-cooked meals shared at the family table have given way to fast food, and there is “no time” to sit and eat together as a family.
Come on, let’s flip the narrative. Let’s make it easier for Italian immigrants to settle here, so they can contribute to and enrich this nation, just as our families did.
If making Italian pastries and cakes isn’t a skill, I don’t know what is?
Let the Bonavoglia family stay in Australia!

I am Iranian, and my people continue to suffer under the rule of the Islamic Republic.

While ordinary Iranians inside Iran are tortured, imprisoned, and killed for demanding basic freedoms, families connected to this regime live safely and freely abroad. They benefit from democratic systems and protections that their own relatives helped undermine through violence, repression, and hostage-taking.

I do not believe it is fair or acceptable for individuals connected to such crimes to enjoy opportunities and security in democratic countries while their families remain involved in the persecution of innocent people in Iran.

I fully support this petition and believe that those who benefit from these privileges should be held accountable and returned to Iran to face the consequences of the system they supported.

Due to massacres in Iran by Islamic regime which Elias Ghalibaf father is one of the most important leader in Iran that works with the regime , as an Iranian demand to Deport Elias Ghalibaf back to Iran he doesn’t deserve to use the freedom that this country is giving him while the regime killed so many people in Iran for basic demand of freedom of speech. Please deport him . I really appreciate you stand with justice for human rights in Iran
