Federal Member for Kingsford Smith Matt Thistlethwaite today announced that a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will deliver $50,000 to support Lunar New Year festival celebrations in the local community.
This election commitment will enable the expansion of festivities, including traditional performances, food stalls, and cultural activities that celebrate the rich heritage of our Chinese Australian community.
The Albanese Labor Government is supporting multicultural celebrations throughout Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, recognising the vital contribution of diverse communities to our social fabric.
Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.
