 Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:51): On behalf of all of my community in the south-east and in particular those who are Hindu and have celebrated Holi, happy Holi day and happy Holi festival. It was just a joy to have so many celebrations around the south-east, from Lynbrook to Carrum Downs, and a wonderful thing to have my colleagues Evan Mulholland and Jess Wilson come to the Hindu Society of Victoria Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple in Carrum Downs to celebrate Holi. It was great to have them there. Jess Wilson was a superstar and well received by the community, and I want to thank the president Mrs Usha Rani Gulapalli for her invitation and for the wonderful presentation and celebration that was held.
