For those cooking pasta for dinner tonight, they may just be adding a little bit of Chisholm to their dish. Rinoldi pasta was founded in 1878 and is located in beautiful Mulgrave. Rinoldi pasta continues to operate as a family business, employing locals and creating amazing products, such as Vetta pasta, made from 100 per cent responsibly grown Australian durum wheat. Rinoldi is more than just a pasta company, though. They have a long history of giving back to the community and engaging in sustainable farming practices. I'm so proud to have them in my electorate.
I recently visited the factory, and I'd like to deeply thank Bill Quayle and his amazing team for showing me around the facility and giving me a glimpse into what homegrown manufacturing looks like and what a future made in Australia looks like. Of course, our government will always back Australian industry and good local jobs in the food and other industries. Our government understands that businesses like Rinoldi are core to not only creating great pasta—and, as someone of Italian descent, I know great pasta—but also creating secure, well-paying jobs for Australian workers. It was wonderful to meet so many local workers when I recently visited Rinoldi in Mulgrave.
