Parliament discussed a condolence motion for the Lebanon disaster on August 19.
Mp Ella Haddad stated the following:
"I pay my thanks and respect to Mr Faddy Zouky OAM, the Honorary Consul General for Lebanon in Victoria and Tasmania, and to the Australia Lebanon Chamber of Commerce and Industry for leading both those initiatives locally but also for providing enormous support to people here and in Lebanon. I also thank the City of Hobart for taking part in what might seem like just a gesture, but it was incredibly heartening to see our monuments in Hobart lit up in the colours of the Lebanese flag last week."
