We are fortunate to live in one of the most multicultural countries in the world, and our willingness to embrace cultural diversity is one of Australia’s greatest attributes.
Chinese New Year is fast approaching, which is an opportune time to reflect on the significant contributions made by Chinese people both in Bradfield and the wider community.
I am proud to represent the electorate of Bradfield, which has a significant and growing Chinese Australian community.
According to the most recent census, 24.5 per cent of Bradfield residents have Chinese ancestry.
I extend my very best wishes to readers of The Post in recognition of Chinese New Year.
Diversity is a hallmark of our democracy and celebrating other cultures is what make Australia such a welcoming country.
Chinese New Year is a fitting time to celebrate our harmonious way of life.
It is also an important time for families to gather and spend time with each other. We live busy lives and it’s moments like these that allow us to stop and remember the important role community and family play in making us happy.
2024 is the Year of the Dragon, which symbolises honour, power, luck, nobleness, and success.
I wish all readers a happy Chinese New Year.
