Last month, I was able to visit the Lakemba Ramadan dinner. It was a great pleasure to be there as Ramadan finished last week with my good friends in the Lakemba branch of the Liberal Party, led by Mohammad Zaman. It was a magnificent evening and an opportunity to meet with many members of the community. It was also an opportunity for us to remind all the people that attended that Ramadan dinner of our great support for Australian Muslims and acknowledge their patriotism and loyalty to Australia, which has been tested at times with some of the public statements that have been made by people who should know better. It was a great event, of course. It was a very good evening with the magnificent community there in south-west Sydney. I also acknowledge all the members of the branch and the many other councillors, members and senators who attended, including Senator Collins, Senator Kovacic and Senator Sharma, as well as the New South Wales opposition leader, Kellie Sloane. It was great to be with her and many other members of the state parliamentary team.
