Victorian Premier Lauds Greek-Australians

melbourneThe Premier of Victoria, Ted Baillieu, said that the Greek community of Melbourne plays an important role in the state and has been an inseparable part of its multicultural society for over a century.

He said that, “Immigration from Greece brought to our state eminent and significant people in all fields, businessmen, politicians, scientists, artists, educators. These people kept the Greek flame alight in Melbourne, the biggest Greek-language city in the world (abroad.)” Greek inhabitants of Victoria were pioneers in establishing the multicultural way of life in Victoria.

Bailieu added that there is no doubt that Victoria’s greatest benefits are its cultural, lingual and regional variety. He added that multilingual journalistic organizations, such as the newspaper Neos Kosmos, contribute greatly to a political-social harmony between the different cultural and regional groups living in the state.
