We extend our sincere thanks to Julie-Ann Campbell MP for recognising the work of CFAQ.
We are honoured to be acknowledged in the Parliament of Australia.
Excerpt from parliamentary remarks:
Moreton has a brand-new community centre, and it’s thanks to the Chinese Fraternity Association of Queensland. Led by their president, Maria Hong, and their CEO, Fanny Lam. The CFAQ supports seniors, strengthens community connections and preserves cultural heritage.
The celebration included so many special parts of my community on Brisbane’s south side. The Brisbane First Chinese Scout Group sang the national anthem, ‘Waltzing Matilda’ and ‘Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree’. Member Yang Yang presented a fabulous dance. Yuki Hoe and Xiandi Liu undertook a multilingual song melody featuring Hokkien, Cantonese and Mandarin songs, and, of course, the effervescent Lewis Lee OAM hosted a charity auction.
It’s great to celebrate them on this day, but the work that they do in our community has an impact on so many people every day.
