    The Thread Topic here is erroneous.

    There is nothing Australian about Dastyari either by origin or allegiance.

    Himself Muslim born, he came here when younger from the Islamic Republic of Iran, that is to say from a land culture completely foreign to Australia and Australians, a place deprived of liberty and all manner of Western riches.

    It is plain that Dastyari has repaid Australia's and Australians' generosity to his family and to himself by acts of betrayal.

    Dastyari, alien by birth and culture but given a fresh beginning in a great Western democracy, has failed every test of cultural and political allegiance.

    Dastyari is in no sense ' Australian'.
