Immigration Minister Andrew Giles sends message of hope ahead of Christmas

·

Federal Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, the Honourable Andrew Giles MP, has issued a special Christmas message this festive season.

Full Message in English:

I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all Australians during this festive season. 

Christmas is a time for traditions old and new, for connecting with loved ones near and far, and most of all, a time to be together and create special memories. 

In Australia, as well as in a number of other places around the world, even among the diverse practices, beliefs and traditions and even timings of Christmas Day itself, we recognise Christmas as a celebration that connects us with each other. Festive food, gift giving, decorations, music and crafts are all activities of this celebration that bring us together. 

I am grateful that, no matter what challenges we face in our vibrant and multicultural country, our ability to come together is one of our greatest strengths. By working together we will continue to build a resilient and prosperous nation.  

May this Christmas and the New Year bring happiness, peace and joy to you and your loved ones.
