 Melissa HORNE (Williamstown – Minister for Ports and Freight, Minister for Roads and Road Safety, Minister for Health Infrastructure) (13:41): It is Ramadan. For our Muslim communities this is a sacred time of prayer and reflection. I would like to wish worshippers every blessing this Ramadan and in the year ahead. It is more important than ever that we say to our Muslim community: you are welcome here and you are respected here. I look forward to attending the iftar dinners, particularly with the Australian Islamic Centre in Newport and the Association of Islamic Dakwah in Altona North. To all those observing, Ramadan Mubarak.
