“It’s wonderful to have a regional multicultural focus,” she said.

“We are enriched by our multicultural communities and the contributions they make.

“I will continue to support and celebrate our wonderful multicultural communities.”

State Member for Murray Plains Peter Walsh commended Ms O’Keeffe’s strong standing with the multicultural community and congratulated her on securing the role, for which he said she was well-suited.

“Kim has long been a champion for the Shepparton community, which is a melting pot of many different cultures, faiths and backgrounds,” he said.
