Let us warm applause to welcome Ray William, Minister of Disability Affairs of the Ministry of Multicultural Affairs:
I am very happy to attend the celebration of the New South Wales Seniors Association for the Elderly. I like the costumes of your multi-ethnic actors, it’s very colorful. I like the Australian national anthem that you sing, it is very emotional. First of all, I am very grateful to Mr Gulian Vaccari, Mayor of Strathfield City and thanks Ms Ge, for organizing a good event. Thanks Chang Gao and Mr Wei Colleagues of the Parliament!
As the Minister of the Ministry of Multiculturalism, I am very glad that you are here to contribute to our community. I know that dozens of groups in your community have participated in the activities of the New South Wales community. You have inherited the Chinese culture and performed here remembering that you are from China.
I know that your Chinese have already immigrated to Australia more than 200 years ago. Not long ago, we also celebrated a migrated event to Australia for 200 years in the City Town Hall. The indigenous people here have a history of four or five thousand years. We celebrate the culture of each nation. I am very grateful to you for your contribution to the multiculturalism of New South Wales. Thank you for your cultural promotion for Australia. Thank you!
Here is the secretary of the parliament Mr Scott Farlow:
Hello everyone, I am very happy to attend this event. I am also very happy to see the smile on your face and the beautiful costumes. I saw a lot of actors performing in the “Chinese style”. Your beautiful smile is the same as Asian clothing. These costumes reflect a role in multiculturalism and are a link between China and Australia. Your dances are very skillful and show a beautiful custom. I am proud of you, thank you! Thank you, Ms. Ge! Thank you, Mr. Ray Williams, Minister of NSW for the cheque! He gave us a very great dedication and support! Also thanks Mr. Wei for contacting me before! I asked which club activity is?
Mr Wei introduced you as one of the best middle-aged and multi-cultural community associations. Your community is a very special community. I thank you and I am looking forward your more activities. Thank you all!
Here is Gulian Vaccari, Mayor of Strathfield:
Hello everyone, I represent Strathfield City. As a mayor, I am quite lucky because there are very talented communities that form our multicultural community. I am an immigrant from Australia. There are many migrated people in this community, including Arab, West Lara, South Korea, Vietnam, China and others. There are more than 200 countries, but we are very closely linked together. I want to thank Minister of the New South Wales Mr. Ray William! He always brings a lot of money to our community, he always sponsors us for a lot of money, he is very popular with our community and he made an invaluable contribution to the Australian community. We really appreciate him!
I would also like to thank the former Mayor’s new Parliamentary Secretary, Scott Farlow, who is also very familiar with our Strathfield and who connects our communities closely.
