He was left with no choice but to flee, leave his family and jump on a boat, long story short he has found his way to Adelaide and been here 3 years with his only contact with his family being via phone/skype, his wife was pregnant when he had to leave so he hasn't even seen his second son. He has found work here and is a lovely human who is contributing to his new home including working in a factory, our family have had him at Christmas and family events for the last 3 years so we have gotten to know him and it his situation has been a great eye opener for all of us, especially my boys.
Anyway my brother has legal qualifications and is passionate about refugee's so they have been working on getting his family to Australia for 3 years now, they have hit many stumbling blocks but last night it was confirmed they would be accepted into Australia.
I know a lot of people don't like refugee's coming to Australia, and I had my doubts also, however when you hear some of the horrific stories first hand it completely changes your thinking and god it appreciates what we have in Australia.
Is now a proud Aussie Citizen after a great ceremony yesterday attended by the local mayor and leader of the state opposition, can you guess where they held the ceremony? Alberton!!! rough start
