It was one of the most memorable visits I have had with the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs coming to Space2b Social Design, just off Carlisle Street, on Chapel Street in east St Kilda. This organisation is one that is extremely special and I am very proud of. I was so pleased to join the minister in announcing a $227,000 grant program for organisations that provide support for people who are new migrants or refugees. Space2b is a warm and vibrant place that is so typical of the wonderful community that I represent. You walk into Space2b and you're presented with products that have all been brought to market by the wonderful new migrants and refugees that are part of the Space2b community. You have all sorts of brilliant art in their gallery, which is in the middle section of their building; and then out the back you have the Flavours of Syria cafe, which has got to be on your list of go-to places when coming to my neck of the woods.

The other thing that was so heartwarming to be a part of was that many volunteers and the many people who are associated with Space2b were on TPVs and SHEVs. We are so proud that they are going to have a permanent place not only at Space2b but in Australia.

I remind members not to jump up before the time has expired for the previous speaker.
