Dastyari came here from the Islamic Republic of Iran not from the Persia of the Shah.
Persia under the Shah, despite repression of dissent( justified many would posit now in the light of what we know of Militant Islamism ), was a place of considerable liberty.
Persia was by the account of many a better and freer place under the Shah.
None of this changes what I have written above, namely this :
Dastyari came here to this great Western nation from a place deprived of liberty and the surfeit of riches which life in the West provides. And he has repaid Australia's and Australians generosity with Treachery.
