 Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:46): Another community highlight was the Hellenic flag festival hosted by the local Greek church, the Transfiguration of Our Lord. The festival paid tribute to the 85th anniversary of Ohi Day, where Greek forces delivered a resounding no to the axis powers in World War II, and it marks the struggle of courage of the Greek people for freedom. The festival was proudly celebrated with traditional Greek dance performances by several schools – Aetolian, St John’s and Lalor North Primary School – the Panagia Soumela Whittlesea and the Aristotelion dance academy, honouring their Hellenic heritage and the spirit of unity.
