Hi Kenan – thanks for posting your schedule – I booked for your Seymour Centre talk next week, and may try for the Library talk as well if I have time.
I’ve just read that there is a Parliamentary Inquiry on Strengthening Australia’s Multiculturism and are actually holding hearings in Bendigo today. I wonder if anyone has sort you out to talk to any groups on this?
