 Eden FOSTER (Mulgrave) (13:25): Recently my community celebrated Indian Independence Day, on 15 August, a day that celebrates India’s gaining of independence after over 200 years of British colonialism. I was honoured to celebrate this day with the Melbourne Kannada Sangha community in my electorate with recitals from some of the youngest in the community along with food and great conversations. The organisers even had me making dosas, although my skills were probably a little rusty and they ended up like pancakes rather than dosas. I extend my heartfelt thanks to the committee.
