 Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:01): Happy Chinese Lunar New Year to all in my Chinese, Vietnamese and Cambodian communities, and a special thanks and chúc mừng năm mới, xīn nián kuài lè to the Springvale Asian Business Association group, who worked tirelessly to present another wonderful Lunar New Year event in Springvale to welcome in the Year of the Snake. As always, it was a fabulous festival, with lion dancing, food stalls and fireworks, and I ended the evening with a delicious community dinner with friends from the Cambodian Association of Victoria. Saum arkoun.
