Narre Warren South electorate
Gary MAAS (Narre Warren South) (14:50): (995) My constituency question is for the Minister for Multicultural Affairs in the other place, and it concerns open mosque day 2025. Minister, how does funding towards open mosque day enable my community in Narre Warren South to learn about different faiths and break down any associated stigmas? Last Saturday I had the pleasure of joining the member for Cranbourne and the member for Narre Warren North at mosques in the south-east that serve our constituents for open mosque day. Our inclusive Allan Labor government is very proud to support multifaith and multicultural events like this one that celebrate the diverse communities that make up our state. I would like to thank both the Emir Sultan Mosque in Dandenong and the Hallam mosque in Narre Warren for welcoming us and the broader community too for going into these places of worship. I look forward to sharing the minister’s response with my community.
