David Southwick MP, the State Member for the seat of Caulfield and Parliamentary Secretary for Police and Emergency Services was a guest at the meeting.
We were privileged to have Professor Gary Bouma as our Guest Speaker. Professor Bouma presented on why Australia is successfully multifaith and compared the Australian position with that of other nations and discussed factors that contribute to this, including demographic factors, a culture of multiculturalism, theological factors and political leadership.
There was no change to office holders at the meeting, with Mark Bender from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints continuing as Chair and Ruth Arber from Kehilat Nitzan as Secretary.
