Following Jenny Mikakos’ first statement after her resignation given to Neos Kosmos earlier today, the Greek Community of Melbourne issues a statement recognising the former Health Minister’s contribution.

“The Greek Community of Melbourne, proudly acknowledges Jenny Mikakos’ contribution to public service and her tireless pursuit of social justice in the great state of Victoria,” the statement said.

“It has included-but certainly has not been limited to-her distinguished political career. She has championed the causes of the underprivileged, women, and her Greek community.”

We look forward to your continued contribution to the Greek community that you inspired and helped develop-you will always be a valued member of it.”
