Nowruz

Pauline RICHARDS (Cranbourne) (13:37): I was very pleased just then to hear from the member for Narre Warren South talking about the Nowruz festival and how lucky we are to have the opportunity to celebrate Nowruz. I was there at the event in Dandenong, at Dandenong Park, with over 10,000 people. There were reports of up to 15,000 people at Dandenong Park to celebrate the festival. The dancing, the music, the literature, the joy for families was something that was contagious. We feel very fortunate.
