During the Fifth Annual Australia Day Lunch organised in Gozo by the Gozo Branch of the Friends of Australia Association (F.O.A.A.G.), the Founding-President, Dr Raymond C. Xerri, said that the Association is assisting 11 Gozitan and 2 Maltese families in locating their relatives in flood-stricken Queensland.
He said, “The Hotline has reached its aim and will continue until we continue until there are no further requests. He thanked the many members and volunteers for taking the initiative to assist the F.O.A.A.G. in providing this service.”
The Australian High Commissioner H.E. Anne Quinane thanked the F.O.A.A.G. and the F.O.A.A.M for their work to improve the already strong Australia-Malta relations. She also thanked the FOAAG for organising the Australia Day Event in Gozo for the fifth consecutive year.
Dr Xerri presented the High Commissioner with a framed limited edition Poster of the Anthem of Gozo which has been recently published.
