KHALID Shakoor loves his new home country and the freedom he has enjoyed since moving here.
The Pakistani refugee, an Ahmadiyya Muslim, came to Australia on a special refugee visa in 1998, alone at the age of 22.
Since then he has married, had two daughters Jazibah, 7, and Madiha, 4, and become a qualified glazier.
