Vietnamese Museum Australia
Natalie SULEYMAN (St Albans – Minister for Veterans, Minister for Small Business and Employment, Minister for Youth) (09:53): On another matter, it was a very historic weekend. We broke ground on the first-ever Vietnamese museum in Australia, being built in the heart of Melbourne’s west. This year is especially important as we mark the 50th anniversary of the Vietnamese settlement in Australia – a milestone that highlights the incredible journey for this community and in particular the contribution they have made in my electorate of St Albans. We have seen so many taking part, contributing and supporting the Vietnamese Museum Australia. I do want to also point out the Allan Labor government was proud to deliver $8.7 million. Thank you to everybody, in particular to St Albans’s Vietnamese businesses, Andy Ho, Ca Lan Chenh, Selena and many others, and Tammy Nguyen and Bruce Mildenhall from VMA. This is an exciting time this year.
