Refugee is Young Australian of the Year
He fled Afghanistan with his mother and brother at the height of a bloody civil war, arriving in Australia a child refugee.
Now, 25-year-old Akram Azimi is 2013 Young Australian of the Year with a deep connection to his adopted country.
He was born in Kabul in 1987 and fled with his family in 1999 after the Taliban viciously consolidated its power in the country through a vicious civil conflict involving warring tribal factions.
At first he was "an ostracised refugee kid with no prospects", but Mr Azimi later excelled.
He went on to study a triple major in law, science and arts at the University of Western Australia.
His family has thrived since arriving in Australia as refugees and they have been treated with warmth and generosity.
Heres the real problem,theres so many Dinky Di Australians used to handouts,most middleclass,theyve forgotton what a handup is.
The country needs more like this young guy,and less of the liberal peasant thought processes,which encourage negativety,unless of course its more middleclass handouts which they positively in favour of.
