Iraqi minorities’ long wait for freedom
Chris Bowen; 16/7/08
If you have never been to a party thrown by Iraqis, I’d recommend it. They sing, dance and make sure everyone enjoys themselves. When Saddam Hussein fell in April 2003 some enjoyable street parties were thrown by Iraqi residents in Fairfield, which is in my electorate. Thousands of Iraqi refugees live in the area, and these street parties celebrated the downfall of a brutal dictator many had fled. That initial joy has turned to despair as the relatives of many Iraqi Australians have been killed, injured or persecuted in Iraq.
