Labor MLC Shaoquett Moselmane this week called on the government to support ad assist ethnic community media to survive a challenging environment.
In a speech given to Sydney’s Upper House, Mr Moselmane acknowledged that while “ethnic media is alive and well, many of the ethnic newspapers or media generally suffer financially”.
“Government should find means to support the service ethnic community media provides,” he said.
Mr Moselmane said the work of those in ethnic media is under-recognised, and that their service to the community should be “recognised and respected”.
