Attack Against MP George Souris Due to Kytherian Origin

George Souris, Minister for Tourism, Major Events, Hospitality, Racing and the Arts of New South Wales is being accused of coming from Kythera island in Greece. This happened because a generous $94,500 state government grant has been given in order to develop a former cafe called the Roxy to promote Greek settlement in rural Australia.

Because Kytherians dominated the cafe and cinema industries in NSW and were heavily represented in rural areas, George Souris was thought to have forwarded the state government grant to the museum in order to support his birthplace and its people.

However, Souris stated that the grants were evaluated by an independent assessment committee and their recomendations had been accepted without alteration.

The Roxy Museum is a fantastic local organisation that celebrates Greek settlement in rural Australia and this funding will help staff conduct research and develop collections that document Bingara’s history.

Finally, George Souris said the funding will support the development of a mix of NSW performing arts centres, galleries, museums and community arts centres.
