Version 1 of Hazaras in Australia

Most Hazara arrivals in Australia date from the late 1990s onward, many as asylum seekers and refugees.¹

In August 2001 the Norwegian ship MV Tampa rescued 433 asylum seekers at sea, most of them Afghan Hazaras, and Australia's refusal to let them land became a defining political crisis.²

One compilation reports a community of about 41,700 in 2021. Treat this as an estimate.¹

Please add the history of local communities, associations and achievements, with sources.
