It’s Cultural Diversity Week, and we kicked off the sitting week in parliament with a screening of Piquancy: Silent Heroes, an outstanding documentary that celebrates Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities in Melbourne.
This is a really special film that depicts the struggles, triumphs, resilience, and contributions multicultural communities make to social fabric of this city.
I’d like to congratulate the producers Niru Trapathi and Nandita Chakraborty, and the whole filmmaking team. It was an honour to share this moment of celebration and representation with them, as well as the community members and leaders who came along.
Please go and seek out this film, and continue to learn about, support, and uplift the multicultural communities in this country.
