Delighted to attend the colourful Sikh Baisakhi festival at Hassan Abdal — celebrating Pakistan’s rich religious diversity. Ended the day with tea on a log in the elegant Mughal Wah Gardens. Perfect day out. 🙏🏼 ☕️
Without question, Faraz Tahir died a hero.
Without doubt, he helped save lives on that devastating day at Bondi Junction.
He ran toward danger, to protect people he had never even met.
Today I was honoured to join the family, friends and community members gathered to remember his bravery and honour his life.
On behalf of the Government and the people of Australia, I offered our deepest sympathies.
Still love playing hockey here with the Nishtars though can't help but reminisce about the glory days of Pakistan's

heroes. Looking forward to seeing Pakistan’s national sport given a new lease of life through investment in its future. Australia is ready to help.
