The Muslim community in South Australia are celebrating Australia Day at the Masjid Noor Mosque and the Mahmood Mosque to express their gratitude for the nation.

Ahmadiyya Muslim community member Imam Kamran Tahir says Australia is “one of the best countries in the world, if not the best,” with the freedom it gives its citizens.

“Whether it be freedom or equality in terms of earning yourself in terms of your own merit or the freedom of worship or the freedom of religion,” Mr Tahir told Sky News Australia. “We are extremely proud to be Australians, and hence for the sake of gratitude, we are celebrating Australia in both of our mosques.”

Majority of Australians believe it’s ‘very important’ to mark a national dayA majority of new Australians believe it's important to celebrate Australia Day on January 26. This is according to survey findings from AMES Australia, an agency working with refugees and migrants settling in the country. AMES Australia CEO Cath Scarth says most people said that it was “very important” to mark a national day but don’t understand the significance of January 26. “I think for them, many come from countries where they haven’t been able to celebrate … and so the idea of a national day is very important,” she told Sky News Australia.

‘Absolute honour’: Turbans 4 Australia founder named Australia’s Local Hero 2023Founder of charity Turbans 4 Australia Amar Singh has been named Australia’s Local Hero for 2023. Mr Singh founded the charity to help struggling Australians and promote multiculturalism after experiencing slurs and racial insults. “This is what I love to do, helping out people around Australia to where we can,” he told Sky News Australia. “I’m honoured deeply and very humbled ... to be presented with this is just an absolute honour.” He’s a bloody good bloke and I’m lucky to count him as one of my friends.
