Jak podano w Media Release, dokumencie wydanym przez biuro premiera Wiktorii dnia 12 czerwca 2009, premier John Brumby powołał na funkcję komisarza d/s wielokulturowości w Victorian Multicultural Commission Polkę, panią Elżbietę Drozd.

Gratulując jej tego zaszczytnego wyróżnienia przytaczamy fragmenty informacji zawartych w w/w dokumencie:


„The Premier John Brumby today announced the appointment of new Commissioners to the Victorian Multicultural Commission (VMC) who will play important roles in strengthening multicultural affairs in Victoria.

Mr Brumby said the new commissioners would strengthen the link between Victoria’s culturally and linguistically diverse communities and the government by working closely with the VMC.

The new Commission is made up of seven re-appointed representatives and three new appointments to be led by VMC chair George Lekakis and deputy chair Hakan Akyol.

“The Government undertook a formal selection process that generated considerable interests from many exceptional candidates.” Mr Brumby said.

“The composition of the Commission was considered carefully, taking into account gender, community experience and cultural and religious background to ensure that a diverse range of people from varying backgrounds and experience formed the Commission”

“I congratulate the worthy and dedicated recipients of these position and look forward to their input and leadership in multicultural affairs in our state”

Minister Assisting the Premier on Multicultural Affairs, James Merlino said the new appointees had a solid understanding of issues facing Victoria’s ethnic communities.

“In Victoria, we are fortunate to have people who originate from more than 200 countries, speak more than 200 languages and dialects and follow more than 120 different faiths,” Mr Merlino said.

“The commissioners are a committed and experienced group who will continue to play an important role in multicultural affairs.”

The new commissioners to the VMC are:
