MINISTERIAL
MULTICULTURAL ADVISORY COUNCIL
752. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the parliamentary secretary
representing Minister for Citizenship and Multicultural Interests:
My question is dated 8 September. I refer
to the Ministerial Multicultural Advisory Council.
(1) On how many
occasions in 2021 has the MMAC met with the Minister for Citizenship and
Multicultural Interests?
(2) I refer to the comments of the Minister for Health
that the Roll Up for WA COVID-19 vaccination campaign , and I quote —
�specifically
targets culturally and linguistically diverse communities through a range of
channels and creative assets.
Was the MMAC consulted, or did it
provide advice, in relation to the development of that aspect of the
vaccination campaign?
(3) Were any
other CALD groups or associations consulted in the development of campaign
collateral; and, if so, which ones?
