Lunar New Year
Harriet SHING (Eastern Victoria – Minister for Housing, Minister for Water, Minister for Equality) (09:46): We are now in the midst of preparations for many celebrations for the Lunar New Year, the spring festival and Tết, amongst others. I would like to wish everybody who is celebrating and who is coming together with family, remembering those who have passed and celebrating the prosperity that we have gōng xǐ fā cái and chúc mừng năm mới. May there be food, celebration, good health and prosperity in this year of the wood dragon. Thank you so much to our multicultural communities who have opened hearts and homes, and indeed menus, to make sure that everybody can get involved. We are such a rich and wonderful multicultural society, and it is really wonderful to see so many celebrations happening across the state as people travel from far and wide.
