Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:56): As we assembled here in this place 24 hours ago, residents in a major European city were sheltering for their lives. Yesterday Ukraine suffered one of the worst onslaughts in the war, with barbaric attacks on civilians in their houses as they slept – attacks which were deliberately targeting residential areas once again. At least 23 people have been killed and well over 130 injured in cities including Kyiv and Dnipro. Right now, at this very minute, 11 Ukrainian oblasts are under attack or under air raid alert. These are the actions of a fascist, imperialistic terrorist state that is hell-bent on the destruction of the Ukrainian people and their culture. But they will fail, and they must fail, and we must all do everything in our power to see that they do. They will fail principally because the spirit of the Ukrainian people cannot be defeated. It is a spirit that is being expressed through culture in Ukraine and indeed right here in Australia, and I would like to take this opportunity to commend Ashley Awramenko and Andrew Mykhaylyk, amongst others, for launching the very successful inaugural Ukrainian Film Festival right here in Australia.
