Islamic Society of Ballarat

Joe McCRACKEN (Western Victoria) (15:05): I recently had the pleasure of attending the Islamic Society of Ballarat at their mosque in Canadian. I met a number of members of the Pakistani community as well. I want to acknowledge the generous hospitality of Anam Shahab and Darren James as my hosts, who were so kind and welcoming. They had many great initiatives that we discussed, including supporting international students, helping families feel connected and matching people to job opportunities. Thank you for your kindness, your generosity of spirit and your hospitality.
