Renee HEATH (Eastern Victoria) (10:00): Last Friday week I had the pleasure of opening a fashion runway at Federation Square with the Consul General of Indonesia. It was absolutely incredible. It looked absolutely gorgeous as the designers, who had come from Indonesia and the Australian Indonesian community, showcased the incredible work and their incredible artisanship. There were hundreds and hundreds of people there, and it was really a celebration of the connection of the Victorian culture and the Indonesian culture. The next day, I was delighted to open the Satay and Reog Festival at Fed Square, and again there were dancers from local Indonesian community groups, young kids that were celebrating the culture and telling the story of their heritage proudly. It was absolutely incredible. There were stallholders from people that had walked the runway the day before. Of course I shopped, as I do, and bought a beautiful silk cape from one of the designers. It was really a celebration of the best that Australia has to offer. Modern Australia has an Indigenous heritage, it has a British foundation and it has a multicultural character. It was amazing to be there, celebrating the connections of these cultures together. I want to give a special shout-out to Diana, who did an amazing job organising all of this and everybody in the Indonesian cultural and arts association.
