>From her home in Sydney, Dr Vasefi said she had been systematically harassed online by accounts she was told may be linked to Iranian state agents. Unfortunately, this is just Listnook recently as well as on all other social media platforms. It's pretty obvious that this is not natural/organic.

Unfortunately this will help fuel the wrong sections of the peanut gallery." Foreigners a problem? Oh dear! " That kind of rhetoric.

It's why we should have much stricter border policy. We don't need to import (more) foreign problems.

More of our issues are homegrown but overlooked. News doesn't really pay attention to 'white poor dude mugs elderly of pension' vs 'muslim saysean things'. On my lived experience, day to day life, white Australians have been worse than immigrants. But we don't address that.

My bad, I thought it was a grey area with dual citizens, which I am. Haven’t there been cases of dual citizens or people renouncing foreign citizenship being harassed too?
