 Ann-Marie HERMANS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (10:42): On Friday 29 May I was delighted to attend Belvedere Aged Care in their celebration for the 80th anniversary of the Italian republic. It was an absolutely warm celebration with all of the workers there coming out. There was the most incredible feast that had been put on, and I want to congratulate everyone that was involved. It was clear that the staff love the community that they are working with. It is a longstanding relationship that they have with Greater Dandenong, because the mayor was there, but I was the only MP. This is a proud multicultural residence that values the history and impact of early migrants, and it is a family-owned business. Congratulations to everybody involved in that.
