To the members of ICSOA, Ramadan & Eid Mubarak. And my congratulations on ICSOA marking its one year anniversary of incorporation. Indian Muslims have made, and continue to make, significant contributions to Australian society.

The strength of Australia’s multiculturalism depends on a vibrant civil society. The work of organisations such as yours is so important in strengthening our community life. I wish the ICSOA every success in its efforts to promote harmony and understanding.
