Today we acknowledged the amazing collaborative efforts of The Equal Project, Create or Die art gallery in Marrickville, and Art Party for their work in organising the One Sydney event, which was held last weekend in support of the Asylum Seekers Centre.
Ms JENNY LEONG (Newtown) [5.01 p.m.]: I draw the attention of the House to the amazing collaborative efforts of The Equal Project, Create or Die art gallery in Marrickville, and Art Party for their work in organising the One Sydney event, which was held last weekend in support of the Asylum Seekers Centre. I thank the organisers and all of the amazing artists who donated their time and work to make the event a success. The event was a huge success and raised much-needed funds for the Asylum Seekers Centre. I commend the Asylum Seekers Centre, which is based in Newtown, for its work in making a positive difference in the lives of thousands of people who arrive in Australia seeking freedom and safety. A special thank you goes to those—and they know who they are—who supported my first attempt at being an art auctioneer, and I give a special shout out to those who joined in the collective bidding, demonstrating how we roll in the inner west.
