St Albans electorate
Ms SULEYMAN (St Albans) (14:43): (6207) My constituency question is to the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, and my question is: what are some of the funding opportunities available to local multicultural organisations in my electorate of St Albans to enable them to continue delivering exciting, quality events for Victoria? It is common knowledge that St Albans is home to many multicultural events, and recently, just last week, we saw the fantastic St Albans Lunar New Year Festival back better than ever, with over approximately 80 000 attendants across the whole day. We have seen many events, including the celebration of Bosnian Independence Day at the local mosque, of course the Greek Paniyiri events in the Greek Orthodox churches and events in our temples, so it is a place that I believe is a melting pot where faiths, cultures and languages come together to celebrate what is unique about multicultural Victoria.
