Mr J. BULL (Sunbury) — (12 370) Congratulations, Speaker, on your election to the position of Speaker. I am sure you will do an outstanding job.

My question is to the Minister for Multicultural Affairs. How can the Andrews Labor government’s new multicultural policy, Victorian. And Proud of It, benefit my local community, and how can residents learn more about this policy? We have all heard our communities’ concerns about the degradation in support for multiculturalism. It is pretty hard to miss. A couple of weeks ago the, Premier, Minister for Multicultural Affairs and Victoria Police chief commissioner Graham Ashton joined community leaders to launch Victoria’s multicultural policy, Victorian. And Proud of It. This policy is underpinned by a Victorian values statement which articulates the values all Victorians should live by: one law for all, freedom for yourself, discrimination is never acceptable, a fair go for all. It is up to all of us to contribute to this policy. Again I ask the minister: how can this new policy benefit my community, and how can local residents learn much more about it?
