World Environment Day
Emma VULIN (Pakenham) (16:42): In June I joined federal minister Andrew Giles and many of my parliamentary colleagues, including members and friends from over 60 local community groups, at the Officer Sikh temple for World Environment Day. I have visited Siri Guru Nanak Darbar in Officer on many occasions, and each and every time I have been delighted to attend. This is where we see our community at its best. My dear friend Harpreet and the wonderful volunteers at the gurdwara put on a day that did not disappoint. We planted 200 trees, shared stories and talked about taking care of our planet. Together we are building a greener and more sustainable future. The Officer Sikh temple is a wonderful example of bringing people together at an inclusive space for all to enjoy. I have said it before, and I will say it again: our community is very grateful for the work that you do.
