Ali* is a man living in limbo. There is nowhere, he can call home, and he is living in Millburn on a bridging visa, with an unknown future. He is a Hazara asylum seeker, originally from Afghanistan, but he was living in Pakistan, before he came to Australia. Since 2009 Hazara people were not targeted only in Afghanistan, they were also targets in Pakistan, and they flee Pakistan too. He escaped from Pakistan in 2012 and arrived in Australia after the reintroduction of the Pacific Solution by Julia Gillard’s government. Ali was in detention on Christmas Island when his 17-year-old daughter was killed in Hazara town’s bomb blast in 16 February 2013.
