I had a great time at the Edmondson Park Malayalee Club [EDMA] 2024 awards night on 29 March. It was a wonderful evening celebrating the outstanding achievements of the local Malayalee community across art, academia and sports. It was more than just an awards event. It highlighted EDMA's ongoing impact in creating a strong, connected network of Malayalees in surrounding suburbs, from Liverpool right through to Campbelltown. I have known this club for a number of years. It plays a vital role in building community ties by offering support and fostering belonging among local families. A key feature of the night was recognition of the youth who took part in the popular EDMAs Got Talent event, which is an inspiring platform that gives young people the chance to showcase their skills and gain well‑deserved recognition. Also in attendance was the wonderful Federal member for Werriwa, Anne Stanley, who was re-elected on Saturday.
