Firass Abiad
Bronwyn HALFPENNY (Thomastown) (09:56): I would also like to say it was a great pleasure to host a parliamentary lunch for Dr Firass Abiad, the minister for health in Lebanon, together with my parliamentary colleagues the members for Broadmeadows and Greenvale. Dr Abiad was on a tour to Australia arranged by Dr Walid Ahmar, a very well known and well respected cardiologist and also founding member of the Australian Lebanese Medical Association.
