Today marks the International Day to Combat Islamophobia.

It coincides with the anniversary of the horrific mosque terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019.

Victoria is proud to be home to an incredibly diverse and valued Muslim community.

Standing together against Islamophobia and all forms of hate is essential to ensuring every person feels safe, respected and included.

Hatred and division have no place in our proudly multicultural and multifaith state.

Freedom of faith and association are the foundational pillars of our democratic and diverse society and are so important for our harmonious society.

And we all have a role to play in rejecting and calling out Islamophobia, racism and hate – and making sure all people in our community feel secure, welcomed, and celebrated.

🇦🇺As we welcome the New Year, we renew our hope for a future built on more tolerance, more acceptance, and less hate and violence.

We stand for a society where people are respected for who they are, where differences are embraced, and where compassion and justice guide our actions. As Turkish Australians, we proudly call Australia home and acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the First Peoples of this land, paying respect to their enduring cultures and recognising the ongoing work required to address injustice and inequality.

Australia has long demonstrated a measured, sensible approach to peace, valuing dialogue over division, social cohesion over conflict, and fairness in all forms. It is this approach that gives us confidence in striving for an Australia free from Islamophobia, Turkophobia, and all forms of racism and discrimination, where every community can live with dignity, safety, and mutual respect.

Our thoughts and prayers remain with all those suffering around the world, particularly in 🇵🇸Gaza and in 🩵East Turkistan. May the coming year bring relief to the oppressed, justice to the wronged, and dignity to all people.

As we look ahead, we wish for peace, unity, and prosperity for Australia, to continue being a place of opportunity, safety, and fairness. May this New Year strengthen harmony within our communities and inspire compassion beyond our borders.

Wishing everyone a safe, peaceful, and hopeful year ahead.

🇹🇷Yeni yıla girerken, daha fazla hoşgörü, daha fazla kabul ve daha az nefret ve şiddetin hâkim olduğu bir gelecek temenni ediyoruz.

İnsanların kimliklerinden dolayı saygı gördüğü, farklılıkların ayrıştırmak yerine zenginlik olarak kabul edildiği; merhametin ve adaletin yol gösterici olduğu bir toplumdan yanayız. Avustralyalı Türkler olarak, Avustralya’yı gururla yuvamız olarak görüyor; bu toprakların ilk sahipleri olan Aborjin ve Torres Strait Islander halklarına saygımızı sunuyor, süregelen adaletsizliklerin giderilmesi için atılan adımların önemini kabul ediyoruz.

Avustralya, uzun yıllardır sağduyulu ve dengeli bir barış anlayışı sergileyerek; ayrıştırma yerine diyaloğu, çatışma yerine toplumsal uyumu ve aşırılık yerine adaleti öncelemiştir. Bu yaklaşım, İslamofobiye, Türkofobiye ve her türlü ırkçılık ile ayrımcılığa karşı daha güçlü, daha kapsayıcı bir Avustralya inşa edebileceğimize olan inancımızı pekiştiriyor.

Dünyanın dört bir yanında acı çekenlerle, özellikle Gazze’de ve Doğu Türkistan’daki kardeşlerimizle, dayanışma içindeyiz. Yeni yılın mazlumlara umut, mağdurlara adalet ve tüm insanlığa onur getirmesini diliyoruz.

Önümüzdeki yıl için; Avustralya’ya barış, birlik ve refah, güven, fırsat ve karşılıklı saygının güçlendiği bir gelecek temenni ediyoruz. Bu yeni yılın, toplumlarımız arasındaki uyumu pekiştirmesini ve sınırların ötesinde de merhameti artırmasını diliyoruz.

Herkese sağlıklı, huzurlu ve umut dolu bir yeni yıl dileriz.

Last week, we met with the Premier and Ministers .mp , .erdogan.mp , MP .abdo.mp and respected leaders from the Victorian Muslim community at Preston Mosque to discuss recent developments, including the concerning rise in Islamophobia. We were clear about the real impact this is having on our community and the need for decisive action, accountability, and meaningful engagement. We also value their time in meeting with us at the .mosque to have this discussion during the busy festive season.
