South Australian Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs Commission

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:06): No, I will ask the previous question; thank you for indulging me, Mr President. My question is to the Hon. Jing Lee. Following phone calls I received this morning from the Italian community, after the departure of Mr Mario Romaldi from SAMEAC, who I gather was a representative of the large Italian community, will she or the government now appoint a replacement from that community, which represents more than 130,000 people of Italian heritage?

The Hon. J.S. LEE (15:07): I thank the honourable member for his question. Of course, the Italian community is a large representation of the multicultural community. I thank the community for their contributions. Honourable members have raised suggestions, and those will be taken into consideration.
