I recognise the upcoming Chaldean Babylonian New Year, an event that serves as a vibrant testament to the rich cultural heritage and enduring traditions of the Chaldean community. Also known as Akitu, it is a time of reflection, renewal and celebration. It marks a new beginning in the Chaldean calendar, with deep roots in ancient traditions and customs that have been passed down through generations. We begin year 7325, for those counting. I extend my congratulations to the Chaldean community on another successful and meaningful celebration of Akitu. I commend the Chaldean League for organising a celebration that fosters a sense of community and pride—in particular, Sam Yousif, Laith Alchinno and Marlin Toma, as well as Archbishop Nona and other clergy members. For many years they have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to preserving their cultural identity, as well as contributing to the diversity and vibrancy of south-west Sydney. May this celebration inspire unity, understanding and mutual respect amongst all members of our community.
