Shadow Treasurer, Hon. Malcom Turnbull attended the dinner as the chief guest and the keynote speaker. It was a very successful initiative. A total of $11,880 was raised.
This was one of many intitiatives taken by BADRC to raise funds for the recent cyclone victims in Bangladesh. Previous initiatives raised $17,800 for the victims.
BADRC is discussing with Bangladesh Embassy in Canberra and the Govt. of Bangladesh about the possibility of constructing a permanent cyclone shelter with the fund raised; in one of the affected areas.
