Thanks Deputy Speaker.

 

Well, it’s a fantastic time in the Top End at this time of year.

 

32 degrees every day, fantastic sunsets every night, and every weekend there’s incredible community events that are going on.

 

Last weekend, we celebrated the Greek GleNTi.

 

That’s right, the GleNTi is back. Opa!

 

I was hoping the previous Deputy Speaker was still going to be in the Chair.


He’s enjoyed the Greek GleNTi in the past, but you’re always welcome, Deputy Speaker.

 

The Greek community in my electorate goes back many generations and as one example of what an incredible multicultural place we live in I did the Greek Zorba with a West Timorese Australian councillor for the Darwin City Council and my daughter, while we were eating great lamb.

 

It was a fantastic event and I want to give a quick shout out to the Kalymnian Association of NSW who did the trip up to Darwin and were such fantastic dancers.


But we’re swapping our souvlakis for samosas.


India@Mindil, a massive celebration of our wonderful and diverse Indian community, is on this weekend at the Mindil Beach market.

 

We’ve also got the Supercars on this weekend, which is a massive sporting event.

 

So, everyone can see there’s something for everyone in the Top End.

 

You’re welcome to come up to Darwin.


See you soon.
