Victorian Liberals to focus on working with multicultural communities

·

On Wednesday, November 13, the Victorian Liberals hosted a media conference with members from the multicultural media.

The conference focused on developing processes for government to better deliver services across Victoria’s diverse communities, as well as building stronger inter-cultural ties.

Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Minister for Trade and Investment, David Southwick, spoke on the importance of developing trade and commerce connections not only with other nations, but also preexisting communities within Victoria.

Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council and Shadow Minister for Health, Georgie Crozier, spoke on strengthening and improving access to community health initiatives and services.

Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council, Evan Mulholland, spoke on religious communities joining the call for the Allan Labor Government to retain the Lord’s Prayer in the Victorian Parliament.

Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Minister for Multicultural Affairs, John Pesutto, said: “Every decision we make must be through the lens of multiculturalism. This is why when I became Leader of the Opposition, I endeavoured to also take on the portfolio of Multicultural Affairs.

“As I travel around Victoria, meeting new people and welcoming our newest citizens at ceremonies, I am proud to see firsthand how multiculturalism has shaped our state, and will continue to recognise the importance of this in every decision I make.”
