A majority of Kurdish organisations and parties in Sydney have come together to start an annual Newroz Festival and Cultural display.

The first event will be held at Sydney’s Hyde Park on Sunday, 29 March 3pm to celebrate Newroz, the Kurdish New Year, with a vibrant cultural event open to the public.

The celebration will bring together Kurdish Australians from across New South Wales along with friends and supporters from Sydney’s broader multicultural community. The event will feature traditional Kurdish music, folk dancing and cultural performances, offering a rare opportunity for the public to experience Kurdish culture in the heart of the city.

Kurdish New Year is celebrated annually in March to mark the arrival of spring and the new year. For Kurdish people, it is one of the most important cultural celebrations, symbolising renewal, freedom and community. The festival is celebrated by millions of people worldwide, including Kurdish communities across Australia.

KLA was proud to be a witness in this PJCIS hearing, this is of utmost importance for Australia’s National Security.

The Australian Government listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a state sponsor of terrorism in November 2025 after assessments found it orchestrated at least two attacks on Australian soil in 2024.

The Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security has recommended that the IRGC remain listed as a state sponsor of terrorism, with clear evidence the organisation supported terrorist activity abroad, including here in Australia.

As Chair of the PJCIS, I'd like to acknowledge the courage of individuals who came forward to share their experiences and speak out against the IRGC's activities. Australia will never tolerate foreign state-directed terrorism on our streets.

KLA announces with deep regret the passing of Salih Muslim, a highly respected and influential Kurdish political leader.

As a founding member and the first co-chair of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), Mr. Muslim played a central role in shaping Kurdish political life in Syria & Rojava (West Kurdistan). His leadership extended to his service in 2017 as head of foreign relations for the Movement for a Democratic Society (TEV-DEM). His lifelong commitment to Kurdish rights and political representation earned him respect both at home in Rojava and Internationally.

Mr. Muslim passed away yesterday in Hawler (Erbil), where he had been receiving treatment for kidney failure.

We extend our sincere condolences to his family, colleagues, and all who mourn his loss.
