Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:41): I am pleased to inform the house of the Whittlesea Chinese Association’s wonderful Lunar New Year celebration, which I had the pleasure of attending last weekend. This festival was a lovely display of culture and celebration as we welcome the Year of the Water Rabbit. This event is undoubtedly the highlight of the Whittlesea Chinese Association calendar and is always a wonderful mix of colour, music and community. It is events like this that bring our entire community together, and I take the opportunity to congratulate the committee and the organisers on a job well done. The celebrations were hugely successful, and I wish to acknowledge the president Regina Leung-Huning, whose work is invaluable to bringing these festivals to life. The Whittlesea Chinese Association hosted an incredible event, and I look forward to celebrating with them more in the future.
