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concrete slabs, built timber frames, and constructed double-brick homes that still stand today, despite their now outdated facades.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 Well-built double-brick homes have been replaced by stacked (quickly) and often poorly constructed veneer shoeboxes.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!
Jacqueline supported: URGENT: Help Adelaide Pastry Chef + Dad Luca Bonavoglia Get Permanent Residency.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
Hora supported: Demand the deportation of Elias GhalibafI 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.
fatemeh supported: Demand the deportation of Elias GhalibafPlease add a decision maker to this petition aswell ie, the ASIO or the government, so that this petition is directed at someone helping facilitate change. This is an issue that directly puts Australian Iranians at risk too - they should not let people in who have ties to the IRGC and put Iranians Australians in a position where they can even get threatened or silenced by IRGC entities in australia. Today is also the last day you can submit your voice to the Enquiry into the new IRGC act. I encourage you all to put a submission that the act should be amended to put a travel ban on IRGC members as well as their immediate family (especially if this woman’s father is on a travel ban himself)! You can do this by emailing pjcis@aph.gov.au and specifying you are emailing for the IRGC act. Make sure you say if you want to stay confidential as they may publish submissions.
Ellie supported: Deport Hanieh Sadat Safavi, daughter of a senior IRGC commander, from AustraliaAs a mother grandmother aunty and Aboriginal Elder we don't need racism in Australia and I am also a survivor of 3rd stolen generation so to see this breaks my heart and to see how elders women were harassed and beaten for no reason was so disrespectful and Australian Government should be so embarrassed and the police need to be held accountable not just with words but by action removed from the force and jailed or fined😡😡
Marie supported: Deport New Zealand born immigrant Thomas SewellAllowing Nazis to spread vile hatred across the country is beyond fathom, and these movements have been free to fester since the early 2000s with sovereign citizen and neonazi overlap. I know because our landlord with a fondness for listening to Hitler and going on about government conspiracies and fine evasion was both. They have effectively hijacked the Australian flag and rebranded it as a symbol of hate and intolerance, and have shown contempt for the Indigenous Australian flag and have seriously assaulted women at a sacred campsite. This is disgraceful and puts everyone at risk from these violent neonazis who also have zero genuine respect for women. As an Australian citizen, I expect the government to put a stop to it all, definitively and swiftly but question, how has this been enabled to this point? Which authorities have been asleep at the wheel on letting the very ideology our ancestors fought in WWII against be allowed to fester and gain traction? Where are the mass arrests of Nazis in our streeets from police? Jacinda Ardern had ten times more backbone than any leadership here. Deport this man, and all those who align with this evil ideology, and let families feel safe again to visit the capital cities of a Sunday afternoon.
Susan supported: Deport New Zealand born immigrant Thomas SewellThere is no place in our beautiful multicultural country for such hatred and racism . I do not want this person and people like him living amongst me and my children who are of aboriginal heritage. I feel the government really needs to step up and show society they finally have the backs of the first nation people and deport him so he can no longer hurt what our country has worked so hard to correct . Hopefully it may also deter other small minded people to stop spreading hate . I beg our government to please take a stand and stand up for our people and our country 🙏
