Statement from Shadow Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs

Liberal Party Victoria

The unfolding events in Afghanistan remind us of the fragility of democracy and how it is incumbent upon us to protect it.

We are committed to supporting our Afghan community here in Victoria during this challenging time, and our thoughts and prayers are with those whose family and friends are caught up in these events.

As Victorians, we are fortunate to live in a state where everyone has the right to express their culture, religion and heritage without fear or prejudice.

We are proud of our reputation for harnessing the many benefits of multiculturalism to make our community stronger.

It is up to all Victorians to work together to ensure we continue to maintain a cohesive and peaceful society.
