Τον Σύλλογο Ελλήνων Ηλικιωμένων Port Melbourne επέλεξε ο πρωθυπουργός της Βικτώριας, Daniel Andrews, για να ανακοινώσει ότι αν το Εργατικό Κόμμα επανεκλεγεί στις 24 του Νοέμβρη, το 2019 κάθε Σύλλογος Ηλικιωμένων μεταναστευτικής καταγωγής της Βικτώριας θα λάβει κονδύλι $4,000, το οποίο θα μπορεί να επενδύσει σε πολιτιστικές ή ψυχαγωγικές εκδηλώσεις για τα μέλη του.
Ο συνολικός αριθμός των Συλλόγων που θα λάβουν αυτήν την επιδότηση είναι 862, σύμφωνα με την ανακοίνωση της κυβέρνησης, ενώ η μερίδα του λέοντος θα πάει στους Συλλόγους Ηλικιωμένων της παροικίας αφού υπολογίζεται ότι περίπου 190 Σύλλογοι Ελλήνων θα το λάβουν.
«Οι ηλικιωμένοι μετανάστες μας ήρθαν στην Αυστραλία και δούλεψαν σκληρά για να εξασφαλίσουν ένα καλύτερο αύριο για τα παιδιά τους. Με τη σκληρή σας δουλειά δεν δημιουργήσατε μόνο σε προσωπικό επίπεδο αλλά και σε εθνικό επίπεδο. Βοηθήσατε στο να χτιστεί αυτή η χώρα και σας ευχαριστώ γι’ αυτό» δήλωσε είπε ο πρωθυπουργός, μιλώντας στα μέλη του Συλλόγου Ελλήνων Ηλικιωμένων του Port Melbourne.
Πρόσθεσε ότι όπως ο τέως πρωθυπουργός της χώρας, Gough Whitlam, και ο τέως πρωθυπουργός της Βικτώριας, Steve Bracks, έτσι και αυτός θα συνεχίζει να στηρίζει τον πολυπολιτισμό και τις μεταναστευτικές κοινότητες της Βικτώριας.
Τον πρωθυπουργό στην επίσκεψή του στο Σύλλογο Ελλήνων Ηλικιωμένων του Port Melbourne, συνόδευαν η ομογενής υπουργός Προσχολικής Εκπαίδευσης, Τζένη Μικάκου, και ο βουλευτής του Εργατικού Κόμματος και υπουργός αρμόδιος για θέματα Ηλικιωμένων που εκλέγεται στην έδρα Albert Park, Martin Foley.
Η ανακοίνωση ικανοποίησε ιδιαίτερα την Ομοσπονδία Συλλόγων Ηλικιωμένων Μελβούρνης και Βικτωρίας, η οποία σε ανακοίνωσή της καλωσόρισε το δώρο του Daniel Andrews, τονίζοντας ότι όλοι οι Σύλλογοι Ηλικιωμένων λειτουργούν χάρη στην ακούραστη δουλειά των εθελοντών και ότι η χορηγία των $4,000 εκ μέρους της κυβέρνησης θα τους παράσχει την υποστήριξη που απαιτείται ώστε να είναι σε θέση να συνεχίσουν να διοργανώνουν δραστηριότητες και πολιτιστικά φεστιβάλ γεγονός που διατηρεί την επαφή των ηλικιωμένων με την τοπική τους κοινωνία.
