Turkish Centenary Festival<br />
I was honoured to attend the Turkish Centenary Festival which took place across<br />
two days at Auburn Gallipoli Mosque. The festival was a vibrant celebration of 100<br />
years of Turkish cultural heritage, achievements and stories. There was something for<br />
everyone, including a traditional bazaar, food stalls, an ice cream truck, activities and<br />
virtual reality experiences.<br />

Candlelight Vigil<br />
I was privileged to be invited by the<br />
<strong>Parra</strong>matta Cumberland Domestic<br />
Violence Prevention Committee to<br />
attend the Candlelight Vigil on Thursday<br />
23 <strong>May</strong> at <strong>Parra</strong>matta Centenary<br />
Square. The escalation in domestic<br />
violence-related fatalities among women<br />
necessitates our collective action. We<br />
aim to stand together as a community<br />
and declare: Enough is Enough. Together, we can make a significant impact by<br />
supporting this cause and demonstrating our shared commitment to combating<br />
domestic violence. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic or family<br />
violence, please contact 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732).<br />
