Australia–Indonesia Youth Association
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:53): Last week I had the pleasure of representing the Minister for Multicultural Affairs at the Australia–Indonesia Youth Association gala dinner. The gala celebrated Indonesian culture, our two countries’ longstanding bilateral relationship, AIYA’s achievements and those of its more than 600 members. Established in 2011, AIYA has grown to have chapters across Australia and Indonesia. They run events across both countries, including language exchanges, professional networking, cultural workshops, sports events and academic seminars. I want to thank the host, Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia Mr Kuncoro Giri Waseso. I would also like to thank Dr Arjuna Dibley, co-founder and former national president, and Clarice Campbell, the current national president of AIYA.
