"Although some of the conferees have already been contributing to our community for some time, it gives me great pleasure to be able to officially welcome all of them as new citizens.
"Having had the opportunity to work with new migrants to our city I know how keen they are to contribute to the community and how much they value Australian citizenship so it is an honour to celebrate this day with them."
