Ms D’AMBROSIO: In this spirit I was also delighted to host a community celebration for Harmony Week with my community again this year, acknowledging the diverse cultural contribution of our rich multicultural community in my electorate. I would like to particularly congratulate the students from Al Siraat College for their participation. They were there in great numbers, sharing valuable learnings from Victoria’s rich multicultural community and, coming from many, many different countries across the globe, what we have in common as proud Australians while also respectfully celebrating our differences. I am continuously impressed by our community members and the critical role they play as responsible citizens in continuing and protecting our community harmony and social cohesion.
