The Iranian diaspora in Australia has been particularly vocal, with many describing the situation as a "slap in the face." Activists point out the painful irony: while many Iranian-Australians are unable to return home to see dying relatives or attend funerals due to the threat of the IRGC, the daughter of an IRGC architect is allowed to "live freely" and build a career in Australia. For those who have spent years advocating for tougher sanctions against the Iranian leadership, seeing the benefits of Australian democracy extended so quickly to the family of the elite feels like a profound injustice that undermines the very purpose of the sanctions regime.
