Pinoy Ako Pinoy Tayo
Ms HENNESSY (Altona—Attorney-General, Minister for Workplace Safety) (09:43): I rise today to pay tribute to and acknowledge Pinoy Ako Pinoy Tayo. I recently had the benefit of participating in their first birthday celebrations. They are of course a fantastic Filipino radio station that provides really important information to Filipino Australians and Filipino Victorians. They put on a really spectacular first anniversary celebration with great music and great food. They talked through a lot of the information, that they use radio—both in first languages and in English—in order to communicate with the community. The Filipino community is a really important part of Melbourne’s western suburbs, but I know more broadly in Australia. I wanted to acknowledge and thank them for their hospitality and to congratulate them for the really important work that they are doing by way of education, information, support and community building through that mechanism.
