This is a wonderful opportunity for me to update the House about some activities that have been taking place in my electorate. I'd like to update the House about mid-autumn festival events this year. I was fortunate to attend many local mid-autumn festival celebrations in our terrific Chisholm community. I want to congratulate the wonderful local groups who hosted these events: the Asian Business Association of Whitehorse, the Shanghai Chinese Overseas Friendship Association, the Australian Oriental Martial Arts Tai Chi Inc. group, the Federation of Chinese Associations Victoria and the Chinese Professionals Club of Australia. These terrific events featured wonderful performances and delicious moon cakes and traditional food and were a great opportunity to spend time together with friends and family. I'm always grateful to be included in these celebrations, so I want to thank the groups for their generous hospitality.

These mid-autumn festival celebrations were also an opportunity for me to reaffirm the Albanese Labor government's commitment to diversity and inclusion in our community. Our government continues to support initiatives that empower the Chinese Australian community. We are focused on ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, is welcome, respected and a part of our community here in Australia, whether it's in my electorate of Chisholm or anywhere else across this terrific country. We stand firm in our pledge to foster connections, promote dialogue and create opportunities for all. I hope everyone had a fantastic mid-autumn festival. Jong chiu kwai le, happy moon festival.
