They are Iranians, Not Australians.

Their Country was Attacked by more Powerful and Devious Enemies.

Why Would they Stay in Australia?

Their Families and lives are in Iran.

It's Amazing to Me that the Australians thought they would stay.

It's like they think "Safety" is the only human Need or Value.

Dumb.

Exactly, Iran was probably threatening their families.

This is the same regime that killed citizens in the streets by the 1000s just 4 weeks or so ago.

Agreed when Iran is nothing but a thug country with Islamic pretenses.

It's like they think "Safety" is the only human Need or Value.

Not the "only" but certainly a primary, nothing like leveraging your loved ones back home to emotionally blackmail you.

Nice work FootPoser, you finally get it.

Wow, you actually both have valid comments on this. Paint me stunned. I can see them wanting to be near family and at the same time I can see the government blackmailing them.

Like when ICE deports someone and tells them, take your United States citizen kid with you, or we will keep her in the camps.

Their families were probably kidnapped and being held hostage. That's what Islam does.
