Dragon boat festival
John MULLAHY (Glen Waverley) (13:36): Duānwǔ ānkāng. I rise to acknowledge dragon boat festivities held across our community and recognise the many organisations that work tirelessly to preserve and share Chinese culture here in Victoria. The dragon boat festival is a celebration of history, community and tradition. It reminds us that Victorians’ multicultural success is built on people maintaining their cultural heritage while contributing to our shared future. I was delighted to join members of the Chinese community in celebrating this important occasion, including the dedicated volunteers and members of the Chinese Association of Monash, the Chinese Senior’s Education & Skills Development Association and the Hunan Association of Victoria. These organisations do so much to support seniors, strengthen community and business connections and ensure that culture, language and traditions continue to flourish for future generations. Their contributions enrich not only the Chinese community but all Victorians.
