Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields—Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology, Minister for Building, and Minister for Corrections) — Campbelltown Bangla School in Minto plays a pivotal role in teaching Bangla language to a new generation and sharing the cultural heritage of Bangladesh. My long association with the Campbelltown Bangla School and the Bangla community is something that I greatly value. Each year, the Campbelltown Bangla School joins in International Mother Language Day celebrations. Recognised around the world on 21 February, the day raises awareness of language, cultural diversity and multilingualism around the world. Many languages around the world are at risk of extinction. It is predicted a language will disappear every fortnight. International Mother Language Day marks an important cultural and historical day for Australians of Bengali descent. In Bangladesh, 21st February is the anniversary of the day when Bangladeshis fought for recognition of the Bangla language. I acknowledge the wonderful work of the Campbelltown Bangla School in promoting linguistic and cultural diversity in our local community. I trust that International Mother Language Day celebrations continue to be a huge success.
