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concrete slabs, built timber frames, and constructed double-brick homes that still stand today, despite their now outdated facades.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 Well-built double-brick homes have been replaced by stacked (quickly) and often poorly constructed veneer shoeboxes.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.There 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 🙏
Cheree supported: Deport New Zealand born immigrant Thomas SewellAs 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😡😡
