Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:53): (2285) My constituency question is to the Minister for Multicultural Affairs, and it concerns the needs of the Circolo Pensionati Italiani di Greenvale, a fantastic local organisation which provides a community for elderly Italian Australian residents in the Greenvale area. Minister, you recently announced a hall hire grant program for both the Chinese community and now the Sikh community, and I support this initiative as a great support for communities to meet and celebrate their culture. The Greenvale Italian pensioners club contacted me because Hume City Council for the first time have started invoicing the club for the use of the Greenvale Recreation Centre, which would cost them over $13,000 a year. The president Filippo Diamante informs me that this has not happened previously and it will come at a significant impact to the club. Will the minister commit to extending these hall hire programs to all multicultural community groups to provide equal support?
