Moon Festival
Meng Heang TAK (Clarinda) (10:30): Finally, this will be a busy week for the Chinese community celebrating the Moon Festival – some would call it a thanksgiving festival – a rich tradition having been celebrated for around 3000 years. It marks the gathering of the harvest bounty, a time when the crops are ripe and the moon is full and bright. It is a time for gathering with family and friends and to look forward to a prosperous future. The Allan Labor government is committed to nurturing Victoria’s vibrant multicultural and multifaith society. Deputy Speaker, with you and the member for Glen Waverley, we will be able to kickstart the Moon Festival over the weekend. For those who also celebrate, happy Moon Festival.
