Southern Metropolitan Region
Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (12:50): (1692) My question is to the Minister for Multicultural Affairs. How is the government supporting senior citizens from multicultural backgrounds in the Southern Metropolitan Region? Southern Metro has some really fantastic multicultural communities that bring so much to our communities, and I am proud to be part of a government that recognises all of them. Recently the Victorian government released the multicultural seniors support program grants, which means that seniors groups, including those from the Jewish community, the Greek community, Chinese Australians, Italian Australians, Arab groups, Polish groups and many more, are going to be benefiting from $2000 grants to support the continued operation of what are hugely important groups for so many multicultural communities. Labor is committed to supporting multicultural groups right across the Southern Metropolitan Region.
