This week is National Week of Deaf People. The theme, 'strengthening diversity', means respect for each other. On Saturday, Deaf Australia celebrated the Deaf Festival beside the Parramatta River with family and friends. Thanks to Dave McQuiggin and Al McEwin of the Deaf Society, Lauren Townsend of Deaf Australia and Kate Matairavula and Danni Wright for organising this event. Thanks also for sharing the celebration with me.

Honourable members: Well done!
